BIODIVERSITY has always been MIGRANT
The greatest historical example of sustainable innovation based on biodiversity is the exchange of agro-biodiversity between continents that began with the era of great geographical discoveries: between the 16th and the 18th century, the most adaptable plant varieties reached all continents to revolutionize everyone's gardens and diets. Beans, pumpkins, corn, potatoes, tomatoes are species introduced to Europe from the Americas only 5 centuries ago and some of these have taken many generations to adapt to the territory and more time to be understood and valued in the kitchen, then to enter into national culture, as it was for tomatoes, or in regional ones, such as the various legumes. 
In addition to these well-known vegetable species, there are many other smaller ones that have already been fully acclimated, selected and integrated into the biodiversity of our gardens, which have been emerging as an innovative food only in recent decades.
