Food and plants are inextricably intertwined. Plants undoubtedly serve a much larger role than just growing the items we consume, but this overlap between botany, nutrition, and people is where my interests lie. Using the knowledge we have learned so far about the relationships between plants and people to shape the future of agriculture seems like the right path forward and explains my interest in the field of ethnobotany. This past May I graduated from Purdue University with a degree in agricultural engineering and a focus on crops and soils. I recently started working for a small nonprofit here in Anchorage, Alaska (the place where I was born and raised) called Alaska Village Initiatives to help with economic development and sustainability, agriculture being a massive part of that, for rural Alaska.
Hello Nikira, Your key is nice and I made use of your (‘) symbol. I’m not sure about how the traditional key looks, but it could perhaps be more legible to make the first (not alternative) option [B] lead to the plant and the second (alternative) option [B’] lead to the next couplet underneath it.
