Underutilized Vegetable Crops: Hidden Treasures for Sustainable Agriculture

Le résumé fourni par la source

Underutilized vegetable crops are valuable plant resources that have not received much attention despite their rich nutrition profile, adaptability to diverse agro-climatic conditions and potential to support sustainable agriculture. These low-input crops are important source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre and health-promoting compounds, supporting both food and nutrition security. Commercialization of these vegetables needs standardized agronomy and solid supply chains connecting farmers and urban consumers. Government initiative schemes such as MIDH subsidies, Minimum Support Price (MSP) system and inclusion of underutilized vegetables into national programs like PM-POSHAN is essential to ensure economic viability and addressing global “hidden hunger”.
