Brazil houses 15 to 20% of all species of global terrestrial biodiversity, but is also responsible for the deforestation of large forest extensions, which might be causing the extinction of many species even before they are known to Science, thus hampering the discovery of new products or substances that might be beneficial for human kind (Brasil, 2000). On addition, agricultural activities generally exploit few species. This paradox brings forth the need for increasing research to broaden knowledge and lead to a better use of Brazilian biodiversity (Garcia, 1995). Additionally, human kind is heading towards reduced food diversity, with consequent cessation of certain foods that were once consumed, and adopting calorie-rich diets with low contents of essential micronutrients which are crucial to a good quality of life (Moratoya et al., 2013).
