We have a good idea what the factors are in major diseases, and sadly the solutions to these are absent from our food chain. For decades we have known that oxidative stress plays a major role in the onset and etiology of diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. Sadly this has never been made common knowledge. If you are seeking a solution, some of the answers are inside this book! Do nothing, and your life will continue on the whims of others and enter entropy, however, the decision to take effective action in a proper sequence enabling a proven, predictable formula will allow you to manifest significant change. Continue in those actions, and it will only be a temporal relationship before you achieve the results of that formula: entropy. Which would you rather have? Either can be in your future it all depends on you!

This report is the second in a series of three evaluating underexploited African plant resources that could help broaden and secure Africa's food supply. The volume describes the characteristics of 18 little-known indigenous African vegetables (including tubers and legumes) that have potential as food- and cash-crops but are typically overlooked by scientists and policymakers and in the world at large. The book assesses the potential of each vegetable to help overcome malnutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and create sustainable landcare in Africa. Each species is described in a separate chapter, based on information gathered from and verified by a pool of experts throughout the world. Volume I describes African grains and Volume III African fruits.

For thousands of years, moringa (Moringa oleifera) has been used as a food crop and as a medicinal plant. Almost all of moringa’s plant parts have multiple uses, particularly the leaves and seed pods, which are highly nutritious. During the past several decades, more attention has focused on exploring and expanding the multiple uses and benefits of this miracle tree. Advances in research and development are rapidly progressing in the areas of botany and germplasm improvement, agronomy, nutrition, natural medicine, and its commercialization by the food and cosmetics industry. Recent developments are not only focusing on using moringa as a food crop, but also as an industrial commodity, with applications such as water clarification, livestock feed, and biofuel. This book presents much information collected from various sources including field research studies conducted by organizations involved in developing and promoting moringa as one of the most useful plants, articles written by individuals with experience and knowledge about moringa, as well as other books and publications cited in this present edition.

After my book was basically finished for publishing I entered the search term "Moringa" in Amazon books, just for fun, to check... and I was shocked by the overwhelming amount of books about Moringa, already existing. Flicking through some of these books, it became clear to me, that most of them have just a few pages and are quite superficial and basically copied from each other, whereas my book compiles years of experience and investigation, as well as the content of more than one hundred scientific research articles on diverse topics about Moringa oleifera. This is, why the book you hold in your hands right now, truly can be called THE Moringa Compilation and why it doesn't need to fear any competition, at all.
