🌿 Zambia's indigenous crops possess vast commercial potential as superfoods adapted to local conditions, requiring time and investment for development.

🌳 The country boasts 400+ forest products with high protein content, including 35 edible insect species offering clean protein that can be domesticated and bred selectively.

🌱 Commercial farmers in Zambia are adopting cover crops and soil rotation, creating a huge market for legume seeds and mixed seed blends to improve profitability and soil health.

🍅 Selective breeding of indigenous crops can be achieved through communal effort over generations, similar to the successful introduction of tomatoes in Zambia during the 1970s.

🌳 Zambia's forests serve as a natural pharmacy, offering 250+ medicinal plants regularly used by locals, with 40-50 remedies known even to 12-year-old children.

🥗 Decolonizing the food system is crucial for reviving indigenous crops, emphasizing education on health benefits and environmental advantages of locally grown, chemical-free produce.
