Other Sources of Famine Food
The term "famine food" has also been used to describe underused crops—edible plants which are not widely cultivated as food, but which could be cultivated as an alternative food source in the event of widespread crop failure.
In addition, undesirable parts of an otherwise popularly consumed plant or animal that would be rejected in times of plenty have become examples of famine or poverty food when needed.
