Abstract：
This study documented existing knowledge on traditional fruits, vegetables and pulses in Kenya and Ethiopia. The aim was to identify neglected and underutilized species with high potential for food security, for their economic value and contribution to sustainable agriculture, based on a literature review and confirmation of existing data by local experts. In order of priority, the top 5 fruit species in Kenya are Tamarindus indica L., Adansonia digitata L., Sclerocarya birrea (A.Rich.) Hochst, Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile, and Ziziphus mauritiana Lam., for vegetables are Amaranthus spp., Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp., Solanum spp., and Cleome gynandra L. Top fruits in Ethiopia are Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile, Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Desf., Cordeauxia edulis Hemsl., Cordia africana Lam., and Mimusops kummel A. DC., for vegetables are Brassica carinata A. Braun, Cucurbita pepo L., and Amaranthus spp. In both countries, priority pulse species (no ranking) are Phaseolus lunatus L., Sphenostylis stenocarpa (A.Rich.) Harms, Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC., Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet, and Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. Generally, these priority species are good sources of key nutrients known for their inadequate dietary intakes in sub-Saharan Africa, represent a safety net for household income, and contribute positively to ecosystem resilience in existing agricultural systems. Complete, accurate and reliable nutrient composition data are needed to raise consumer awareness about their nutritional and health benefits. Since women play a central role in traditional food systems, their empowerment, and hence resilience, increase the positive impact they can have on the households\' dietary diversity. In particular, introducing small-scale processing techniques and marketing strategies could enhance their supply and consumption.
摘要：
这项研究记录了有关传统水果的现有知识，肯尼亚和埃塞俄比亚的蔬菜和豆类。目的是确定具有高粮食安全潜力的被忽视和未充分利用的物种，它们的经济价值和对可持续农业的贡献，基于文献综述和当地专家对现有数据的确认。按优先顺序,肯尼亚排名前5位的水果品种是罗汉，阿丹索尼亚，Sclerocaryabirrea(A.有钱。)Hochst,埃及龟甲（L.)Delile,还有ZiziphusmauritanaLam.,用于蔬菜的是Amaranthusspp。,Vignaunguiculata（L.)沃尔普。,茄属植物。,和CleomegynandraL.埃塞俄比亚的主要水果是Balanitesaegyptiaca（L.)Delile,Ziziphusspina-christi（L.)Desf。,孔雀花草。,科迪亚非洲林。,和MimusopskummelA.DC.,蔬菜是甘蓝型油菜A.Braun，西葫芦,和Amaranthusspp。在这两个国家,优先脉冲物种（无排名）是PhaseoluslunatusL.，Stenostylisstenocarpa（A.有钱。)危害，：)DC。,Lablabpurpureus（L.)Sweet,和Cajanuscajan（L.)Millsp。一般来说,这些优先物种是重要营养素的良好来源，在撒哈拉以南非洲因饮食摄入不足而闻名，代表家庭收入的安全网，并对现有农业系统的生态系统复原力做出积极贡献。完成,需要准确可靠的营养成分数据来提高消费者对其营养和健康益处的认识。由于妇女在传统粮食系统中起着核心作用，他们的赋权，因此，韧性，增加它们对家庭饮食多样性的积极影响。特别是,引入小规模加工技术和营销策略可以增加他们的供应和消费。
