Corn, rice, and wheat constitute 51% of the calories humans consume. However, many other heritage crops are important local staples or more highly identified with a culture. Modern agriculture is also starting to recognize the nutritional value or hardiness of many of these crops. This event recognizes these less mainstream crops. Stephen Xootfly will present on 3 upcoming heritage crops: tef, cassava, and sorghum and some of the crop engineering happening with them.  

But, this is a participation event. So, bring to the table either a snippet (picture) of some important crop from your heritage and/or a prepared dish and recipe.
