联合国粮农组织（Food and Agriculture Organization）最近报告说，营养不良人口的数量已达到创纪录的10.2亿，其中最普遍的是在热带地区。面包果，Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg，是一种未被充分利用的海洋主粮作物，长期以来被认为具有缓解热带气候饥饿的潜力。面包果可以用最少的农业投入以可持续的方式种植，并且可以与咖啡、胡椒或香草等高价值经济作物复合种植。具有不同营养和农艺特征的品种种类繁多，但很少有品种被广泛种植。最近微繁技术的发展使大规模繁殖和传播成为可能，但要充分利用这一资源，还需要对其营养特性有更深入的了解，并开发新产品和市场。这篇综述将强调和描述我们目前的知识状况，以及面包果作为一种可持续作物的潜力，为西方市场提供新的食物，并为不断增长的全球人口提供粮食安全。
The Food and Agriculture Organization recently reported that the number undernourished people has reached a record high of 1.02 billion, most prevalent in the tropics. Breadfruit, Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg, is an underutilized Oceanic staple crop long recognized for its potential to alleviate hunger in tropical climates. Breadfruit can be grown sustainably with minimal agricultural inputs and can be multicropped with high value cash crops such as coffee, pepper, or vanilla. A great diversity of cultivars with varying nutritional and agronomic characteristics exists, yet few cultivars are widely cultivated. Recent developments in micropropagation have made possible large scale propagation and dissemination but to fully utilize this resource, a deeper understanding of the nutritional characteristics, and the development of new products and markets are needed. This review will highlight and describe the state of our current knowledge and the potential for breadfruit as a sustainable crop to provide new foods for Western markets and food security for the growing global population.
