Minor crops are cultivated on a smaller scale, often limited to specific regions or cultures. While they may not dominate global markets, they are crucial for local food traditions, nutrition, and agricultural resilience. These crops are often adapted to specific climates or cultural preferences and may be underutilized or overlooked in commercial agriculture. Examples include teff in Ethiopia, amaranth in parts of South America, and finger millet in India and Africa. Supporting minor crops can contribute to dietary diversity and food sovereignty.
