Most studies on leafy vegetables have focused on routinely cultivated species. The objective of this Nigerian-Canadian Vegetable (NICANVEG) project is to increase food security and economic empowerment of resource-poor rural women farmers of Nigeria through the utilisation, cultivation, processing and preservation of underutilised vegetable species.
