Climate nutrition and forgotten foods

Forgotten and underutilized species—once the backbone of ancestral diets—are emerging as champions of climate resilience and nutritional security. Crops like finger millet, amaranth, teff, moringa, bambara groundnut, and indigenous fruits are nutritional powerhouses engineered by nature to withstand drought, heat, and poor soils. These climate-smart crops deliver superior micronutrient profiles while requiring minimal inputs.

Building compliant value chains

The challenge isn't just rediscovering these crops—it's integrating them into modern food systems while meet The Global Food Safety Initiative, Codex Alimentarius Commission and FSSC 22000 standards. Organizations like FAO Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT CGIAR and Crop Trust are pioneering frameworks that validate these crops through rigorous safety protocols, making them market-ready.

Resilient crop value chains

Creating resilient value chains for forgotten foods requires investment in processing infrastructure, quality assurance systems, and market linkages. International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), World Food Programme and African Development Bank Group are funding initiatives that connect smallholder farmers cultivating traditional crops to certified supply chains, ensuring traceability and food safety compliance.

Food systems and emissions

Food systems drive 30-33% of global GHG emissions, yet most plans ignore nutrition security and sustainable diets. Net-zero transitions risk nutritional harm without food strategies. Plant-based shifts cut emissions but must preserve micronutrients via climate-smart crops.
