I am compiling a paper on Breadfruit Revitalization in the Marquesas, based on my earlier work on Breadfruit in the Pacific - and recent observations about the support for Breadfruit as a local food stuff. The argument for local foods as a substitute for imported foodstuffs raises questions about the place of breadfruit in such 'revitalization' projects.
Hi,
I'm not working on breadfruit any more, but there's a young Hawaiian researcher named Noa Lincoln at the University of Hawai'i who's been doing very interesting work promoting breadfruit and its cultivation in Hawai'i and the Pacific, including horticultural research into best practices, best varieties under different conditions, etc. If you send me your email address, with your question again, I'll forward it to him and hopefully he'll answer you. I hesitate to give you his email without asking him first,
Best,
Brien
Thank yo for that information. I am looking for an earlier paper on Breadfruit that I found listed under your name - so was asking for a copy of the paper entitled Hawaiian breadfruit ethnobotany, nutrition and human ecology. The paper is listed as a joint publication with Michael Jones, Charles Tichenal, and Alvin Huang. Published in CTAgriculture and Human research.
I would be grateful for an email address for Noa Lincoln. My email address is: [email protected]
Also I am trying to track down an email address for a gentleman I met in Hiva Oa, Marquesas who is running an important Botanical Garden there - he was formerly Mayor - Lyons is the only name I caught.I presume he is under the auspices of a French botanical organisation. He is very enthusiastic about re vitalizing former plant species that Marquesans used. Do you know how I can reach him?

I am completing a paper on Breadfruit Revitalization in Marquesas and Tahiti, as a parallel to the endeavours by the Breadfruit Institute in Kauai - recent publication by Noa Lincoln et al. Grow Us our Daily Bread, Hort Reviews 46 (2018).
My ethnographic approach draws on my work over 50 years of the place of
breadfruit in transitions to rice or wheat - Breadfruit or Rice in Marshall Islands (1972); Breadfruit revitalisation, as an alternative to Baguettes in Marquesas and Tahiti (2019) - for health, cultural identity and economic considerations..,
I would be interested to read more of your Agroforestry Guide.
