Enhancing Neglected and Underutilized Crop Species (NUCS) in Nepal: Unlocking Their Potential for Climate Resilience, Food Security, and Agrobiodiversity

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The global dominance of a few major cereal crops has led to the marginalization of traditional species, reducing agrobiodiversity and increasing the vulnerability of food systems. Changing climate conditions, particularly intensifying drought stress, further threaten global food security.
