Funded Activity Summary
Pseudo grains and adaptiveness in the Eastern Himalayas. Providing enough food for a growing planet and changing is one of the key challenges humanity must face in coming decades. Our research aims to contribute solutions to this problem by researching the domestication history and spread of two crops that are important to the eastern Himalayas: buckwheat and job's tears. We will use ethnolinguistic methodologies to document the current uses of these crops, and then incorporate archaeological, and genetic methodologies to determine whether or not the eastern Himalayas have been centres of domestication for these crops. The outcomes will include ethnolinguistic documentation, timing of domestication, and training in the relevant indigenous communities.Funded Activity Details
