The importance of Guizotia abyssinica (niger) for sustainable food security in Ethiopia

2013-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Niger (noug; Guizotia abyssinica) is an economically important edible oilseed crop. This review sought to demonstrate the significance of niger for sustainable food security in Ethiopia, where it is produced exclusively by smallholders. In addition to its edible oil, niger seed is an important source of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and fiber that significantly contribute to the human diet. The crop has a wide...
