到2030年在发展中国家实现可持续发展目标(SDGs)特别是第二个目标具有挑战性。《世界粮食安全和营养状况(2019年)》显示,营养不足的患病率在过去三年中几乎没有变化。这就要求粮食和营养在应对这一挑战方面实现可持续的协同作用。探索未充分利用的豆科植物如DolichosLablab(Lablabpurpureus)在改善食品和营养安全方面的潜力非常重要。Lablab在营养不足的多样化豆类中广为人知,相对于其他豆类来说是耐旱的。然而,它作为人类食物不太受欢迎。这篇评论的重点是提供有关未充分利用的Lablab品种对食品供应的营养潜力的详细信息,可达性和令人满意的利用,以改善生计。到目前为止,研究的注意力一直集中在良好的农艺性能上,而有关其营养质量及其对人类福祉的贡献的信息却很少。野生和栽培的Lablab种质在形态上和不同的栖息地环境中确实存在差异。这可能会让他们不太为人所知,尽管在营养不良仍然存在的发展中国家,其作为粮食资源的潜力很大,但尚未开发和利用不足。要努力普及优质营养原料,提高他们的消费和商业化,以养活未来不断增长的人口。
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly goal number two in developing countries by 2030 is challenging. The State of Food Security and Nutrition (2019) in the World show prevalence of undernourishment which has practically remained unchanged for the last three years. This calls for sustainable synergies between food and nutrition in addressing the challenge. Exploring the potential of underutilized legumes such as Dolichos Lablab (Lablab purpureus) in improving food and nutrition security is of importance. Lablab is known among nutritious underutilized diversified legumes, which is drought tolerant relative to other legumes. However, it is less popular as human food. This
review focuses on providing details on the nutritional potential of underutilized Lablab
varieties for food availability, accessibility and satisfactorily utilization for improved livelihood. So far research attention has been focusing on good agronomic performance with less information on their nutritional quality and its contribution to the wellbeing of people. Both wild and cultivated Lablab accessions do differ morphologically and across diverse habitat environments. This may make them less known, untapped and underutilized despite its promising potential as a food resource in developing countries where malnutrition still exists. Efforts are needed to popularize high-quality nutritional accessions, enhancing their consumption and commercialization for feeding the ever-increasing population in the future.
