This book investigates the economic potential of little-known and wild plants from across the globe, speculating on their potential benefits and the practicalities of cultivation.

The author cites cereals as an example, discussing the challenges of finding viable alternatives to staple grains in the event of a crop failure. They explore the underutilized potential of grasses like millets, which in some areas are more widely cultivated than wheat or rice.
