Indigenous Crops Innovation

Overview

Indigenous crops often fall into the category of “neglected and underutilized species,” demonstrating tremendous untapped potential. not only for food, but an array of material and chemical products. Tropical crops in particular represent opportunities to adapt to a warming planet.
