Ionata supports LearnGrow to 'Help the Hungry Feed Themselves'

Posted on Thursday, 25 June 2009 | Permalink

Ionata has been proud to support LearnGrow, a project that helps people in developing countries learn about and grow the best local foods to match their nutritional needs.

In many parts of the world people try to grow crops that are poorly suited to the climate and soil. The Learn◊Grow project is based on the life’s work of Tasmanian Agricultural Scientist, Bruce French, who has comprehensively documented information on the food plants of the world.  The food plants database developed by Bruce contains over 18,000 food plants.  It includes descriptions of the origin of food plants, growing methods, photos, drawings of the plant and edible parts of the plants, and cooking methods.

Ionata donated web hosting and CMS subscription and also built the website from a fantastic design donated by Kieran Bradley from Workhorse.
