Acknowledge ments 1 In travelling the world, as researchers of food plant biodiversity, we not only have the pleasure of discovering the most amazing plants, but also of encountering some of the most intelligent, passionate and compassionate people on earth. We are very fortunate to have met and befriended many of them, and to have been inspired and motivated in our studies. Among them brilliant souls whose knowledge often far surpasses that of doctorates in the field… to them a special respect and appreciation, to writers, plant collectors, plant breeders, growers, gene bank officials and professors, to all of them whom we have encountered and from whom we have learned so much, a very big thanks and our sincere gratitude.
