In 1975, the Development Academy of the Philippines proposed the Rootcrops Industry Project. This book is the product of five years of work by the DAP project staff whose goal is an altogether nutritional, if not economic, development of rural communities. It is their hope that their efforts may affect a change to convert the present nature of the industry from subsistence farming to a full-blown commercial venture.
