Conserving and increasing the Use of Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species

This Web site intends to draw attention to those species of plants which have been neglected in a varying degree by researchers or have been underutilized economically. It is hoped that this information will contribute to: (1) identifying constraints in and indicate possible solutions to greater use of these species, (2) identifying possible untapped genetic diversity for breeding and crop improvement programmes and (3) detecting existing gaps in available conservation and use approaches..
