The Southern Caucasus is an important centre of origin and diversity of many species and varieties that are the basis for global food production. This
great biodiversity is maintained by farmers, and their gardens are a healthy source of food production, experimental places to develop sustainable
technologies and laboratories to maintain seeds and biodiversity. This book contains 500 photos and documented information on selected species that
hold potential to adapt to the production systems of the twenty-first century. It also contains studies and notes on the food habits and associated
traditions of the people of the Southern Caucasus, who contribute to maintaining sustainable agricultural systems through their daily work and
diligence.
