“It is the NGRP's responsibility to: acquire, characterize, preserve, document, and distribute to scientists, germplasm of all lifeforms important for food and agricultural production.” Dr. James Duke is perhaps America’s foremost ethnobotanist. He worked for the USDA and University of Maryland, is a prolific writer, and created the phytochemical and ethnobotanical database at the US government’s National Genetic Resources Program.
