In this regard, the study focus will be on crops within the abundance of Neglected neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS), based on available plant genetic resources at the national level, excluding mainstream cash and staple crops such as rice, maize, and wheat. Crop-related NUS have multiple benefits and offer potential to diversify both agricultural production and dietary consumption, as well as strengthen natural environments. In the future, NUS will play a pivotal role in addressing malnutrition.
