      abstract = {Food-security and sustainability is a serious global  concern in the recent times. Many indigenous food crops of  Africa which promises to ameliorate nutritional food  insecurities are presently neglected and under-utilized.  African yam bean (AYB) is one of such crop with tremendous  nutritional potentials. The poor awareness about the  taxonomy, agronomy, genetics, medicinal value and  productive potential of the crop may be due to limited  research on it. The subsistence production of the crop may  have been occasioned by its poor acceptability as a  valuable crop among middle-aged farmers in Africa. Research  information on the crop is patchy in old and poorly  accessible literature. There is an indisputable threat of  irrecoverable loss of information on AYB especially in old  archives. Some quality information on the crop was  assembled from old books and proceedings, out-of print  journals, pamphlets and recent publications. This review  tried to congregate the bits and lumps of information on  AYB research into a discrete summary which will create  awareness about the future research needs on this crop.},
