Providing enough food for a growing planet and changing is one of the key challenges humanity must face in coming decades. Our research aims to contribute solutions to this problem by researching the domestication history and spread of two crops that are important to the eastern Himalayas: buckwheat and job's tears. We will use ethnolinguistic methodologies to document the current uses of these crops, and then incorporate archaeological, and genetic methodologies to determine whether or not the eastern Himalayas have been centres of domestication for these crops. The outcomes will include ethnolinguistic documentation, timing of domestication, and training in the relevant indigenous communities.

为不断增长的地球提供足够的食物是人类在未来几十年必须面对的关键挑战之一。我们的研究旨在通过研究两种对喜马拉雅山东部很重要的作物的驯化历史和传播来解决这个问题：荞麦和薏米。我们将使用民族语言学的方法来记录这些作物的当前用途，然后结合考古学和遗传学的方法来确定喜马拉雅山东部是否已经成为这些作物的驯化中心。其成果将包括民族语言文献、归化的时间安排以及在相关土著社区的培训。
