Neglected and Underutilized
Species Community

The NUS Community is an on-line platform for sharing research results, development news and policy advice regarding the use and conservation of neglected and underutilized species  [1], or NUS for short. The platform aims to support research and promote the use of neglected and underutilized crops and trees to strengthen food security, build more resilient, climate-smart agriculture, and empower people through income generation and revitalized local food culture.

This website provides access to information and lessons from projects that Bioversity International  [2] implements jointly with research and development partners  [3] around the globe. It also serves as an information hub  [4] that highlights other interesting research on neglected and underutilized and connects practitioners in the field to strengthen capacity in this field.
