		Gourds, in fact, could be as important to the future of agriculture as the soybean and the potato.
		The problem to which the gourd may be one part of the answer is a crucial one: how to produce enough food—and the right food—in a finite world where population demands are overtaking existing resources.
		For the most part they downplay theoretical research (such as that being done on the buffalo gourd), prefering to talk about their work on such basic food crops as wheat, barley, maize, sorghum and millets.

	Cucurbits
		Most people think of a "gourd" as a fruit that is bitter, and there are many species in the family having fruits that are too bitter to eat.
		Use of the buffalo gourd was also desirable in developing cucurbits that can live under conditions where water is scarce and temperatures are high, because this is a plant that comes from a dry, hot natural habitat.
		But the large gourds of Lagenaria in particular became popular around the world as containers, e.g., as vessels for carrying water or other liquids, as dippers, as objects to conceal male genitalia, or as places to mix brews, such as tea (e.g., maté).
