Review

By “underutilized species” we refer to those species whose potential to improve people’s livelihoods, as well as food security and sovereignty, is not being fully realized because of their limited competitiveness with commodity crops in mainstream agriculture. While their potential may not be fully realized at national level, they are of significant importance locally, being highly adapted to marginal, complex, and diffi- cult environments and contributing significantly to diversification and resilience of agroecosystems.
