		Desert limes, wild limes and other native citrus are being grafted on to, and in some cases hybridised with conventional commercial citrus rootstock with a view to large-scale orchard cultivation.
		Growing Australian native plants in a way and at a level which leads to the establishment of an Australian native food industry can clearly be part of the means of strengthening local communities (Trainer 1995, Douthwaite 1996).
		As a recognizable industry, the Australian Native Food Industry is less than 20 years old and, with but a handful of exceptions, is focussing on species which were virtually unknown to recent settlers as possible food sources until the last two decades.

	Spotlighting the Deadly Night Shade Family
		Members include the traditional vegetable garden plants (hot peppers, potato, tomato, capsicum and eggplant), the aboriginal bush tucker plants (desert tomato, desert raisin and kangaroo apple), invasive weeds (the cruel boxthorn and blackberry nightshade), potent extract producers (tobacco and deadly night shade) and many colourful ornamentals (potato vine, angel's trumpet, Chinese lantern and petunias).
		The Tasmanian and Southern Australian aborigines traditionally treated the cherry-sized fruits of the kangaroo apple ( Solanum laciniatum) with all the respect that this potentially toxic bush tucker plant deserved.
		The name 'wild' or 'bush' tomatoes and/or raisins have been applied to a number of plants, some of which are botanically identified as Solanum ellipticum, Solanum petrophllum and Solanum centrale.
