The proposed WikiProject was not created

Description
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)


 * List of important pages and categories for this proposed group
 * A good example of neglected and underutilised species which have gained much attention from the public. This article is quite well written.
 * Another example of neglected and underutilised species. This article needs further elaboration.
 * crops originating from peru (number of pages in the category:37)
 * category (number of pages in the category: )
 * crops originating from peru (number of pages in the category:37)
 * category (number of pages in the category: )


 * List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
 * Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.




 * 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.

Support
Also, specify whether or not you would join the project.

Discussion

 * 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.
