Food Plant Solutions Resources
ECHO partners with organizations around the world to gather and share resources with small-scale farmers and agricultural development workers.
Food Plant Solutions' publications highlight the importance of selecting plants that are both high in nutrition and well-adapted to local conditions. Their materials consist primarily of country-specific field guides. You can find a guide book for each of over 50 countries, with each guide containing information about nutritious food plans found in those places.
FPS is connected, through Rotary, with Food Plants International (FPI). Bruce French, who established FPI, has created a database of over 30,000 edible plants. The information contained in FPI’s database is foundational to FPS resources. The work of FPS compliments ECHO’s desire to provide information about useful plants and agricultural techniques.
If you download an FPS publication please contact FPS at info@foodplantsolutions.org. Feedback on any publication is invited and much appreciated
Please click on your country of interest in the Project List to view the FPS resources available for that country.
