underutilized-crops
Underutilized crops are domesticated plant species with established roles in local food systems, medicine, or culture that have received little attention from mainstream agricultural research and global commodity markets. Studying these crops is valuable to plant science because they often harbor unique genetic diversity, stress tolerance traits, and nutritional profiles not found in widely commercialized species. Understanding their biology can advance knowledge of crop adaptation, food security, and sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change and dietary diversification needs.
