Food security is based both upon sustainable production practices and crop diversity. Novel crops, which once comprised a minimal part of crop production in the UK and Europe, are now being considered an important part of food production. Crops such as sorghum, millet and teff are rapidly becoming part of mainstream crop production, and are now forming part of modern crop cultivation practices, for their suitability to current agricultural systems, health properties and the potential for new products.
