Sharing videos in connection with the neglected and underutilized species (NUS) community at Bioversity International.

There are thousands of edible plant species that have been cultivated and collected by traditional communities throughout history but today, these resources and the knowledge concerning their use is rapidly being lost as food systems focus on a very narrow range of staple and commodity crops. Through research and greater attention these species could be leveraged to improve food security, conquer poverty, empower marginalized communities, build climate change resilience and enhance environmental sustainability of agriculture.
