ABSTRACT
The apparent success of industrial agriculture in raising crop production is taken as indication of its tightness; that hunger still occurs typically attributed to a lack of food supposed to be occurring nonetheless. Some change and/or the change of some areas for agricultural use could be regarded the human, natural way of providing for nutrition; natural, just like other animals' behavior of not only finding, but to some extent actively constructing their ecological niches. In cities of "developed" countries urban and community-supported agriculture (CSA): are struggling but promising developments; they contribute to nutrition, personal agency, values and knowledge/education of a green and socially-oriented kind. Some traditional forms of nutrition, particularly when diverse and naturally rich in phytochemicals are less supported, but balanced with lifestyles more likely health-promoting; but that is not the only factor. This chapter addresses the less immediate relations concerning the import of wild region's resources to nutrition and of wild biodiversity to potential innovations in/for agriculture.
