The National Research Council’s series on Lost Crops … is on our shelves, and well-thumbed too. Now comes news that Voice of America has just launched a five part series reporting on various aspects of the story.

- Certain Vegetables Among Africa’s Lost Crops with Martin Price
- Local African grains among Lost Crops with Adi Damania
- Plans and Hopes for Developing Lost Crops of Africa with Professor Damania again
