[GET] The Coconut Odyssey The Bounteous Possibilities of the Tree of Life

[Nancy857]

Coconut is a tree of great versatility. It provides food, drink, clothing and shelter, as well as a source of income from its products. Coconut can grow in fragile environments, on coasts and coral atolls where few other species survive. In extreme weather, the coconut provides refuge and sustenance to coastal and island communities. The health-promoting properties of coconut are increasingly being recognised. Yet coconut is too often seen as a sunset crop, with little future, unable to compete in export markets with palm kernel oil and, more recently, with generally modified rapeseed oil. This timely publication summaries the case for coconut.
