The proposed WikiProject was not created. Archiving old project proposal. Ajpolino (talk) 02:26, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Description edit
This project aims to improve the coverage of neglected and underutilised species in Wikipedia by creating more stubs or articles on these neglected crop species, and improve the quality of existing articles mainly in the agricultural context, e.g. demand and supply constraint, culinary uses, market access, etc. MKwek (talk) 03:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- List of important pages and categories for this proposed group
- Underused crop (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Agricultural biodiversity (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Quinoa (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) A good example of neglected and underutilised species which have gained much attention from the public. This article is quite well written.
- Yacón (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Another example of neglected and underutilised species. This article needs further elaboration.
- Category:Crops originating from Peru (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (number of pages in the category:37)

- Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
- This group is focusing on neglected and underutilised crops of which their importances and potentials are often unrealised. If this project is placed under the main project such as Wikiproject Agriculture, it will likely be invisible as agriculture covers a much wider scope from crops to livestocks.

Discussion edit
- The agenda of neglected and underutilised species (NUS) has been discussed in main conferences, such as the latest GCARD2 which proposed a stronger research strategy to include NUS in on-farm management of agricultural biodiversity.
