Reconnect with heritage crops, traditional recipes, and ancient farming practices that have been overshadowed in our modern age. Forgotten crops — or Neglected and Underutilized Species (NUS) — and the foods derived from them, have immense untapped potential within sustainable food systems. Their cultivation is based on ancestral knowledge which has not been placed at the center in formal research.
Come together to design the most efficient approach to facilitating the transformation of international agricultural innovation and systems in favor of small-scale producers as well as in favor of supporting traditional crops and local knowledge, with a view to design new co-research and co-innovation approaches with formal science.
Share your expertise, best practices and insights. Together, we can rediscover, celebrate, and reintegrate these treasured foods into our plates and fields and broaden the action to transform agri-food research and innovation systems.
