Increasing availability and access to traditional vegetables can improve food and nutritional security. Traditional vegetables are superior in food value to globally popular vegetables with higher essential nutrients, and historically provided a large proportion of the

daily protein, vitamin and mineral intake in the village diet in PNG. Increased demand and consumption of traditional vegetables has the potential to contribute to higher potential incomes for growers and sellers, the majority of whom are women. Communities in the Top End of the Northern Territory face similar problems with limited access to fresh vegetables and fruit, and an increasing shift towards energy dense store bought food.
