However, in the manufacturing sector, its importance remains largely ignored due to the distribution of local restrictions, low retail sales, and inadequate policy interventions. These crops provide an excellent source of low-cost energy in combination with high biodiversity and the ability to perform better under changing climatic conditions. Therefore, in times of food shortages, people from urban and rural communities rely heavily on collecting these crops in their natural habitats. Therefore, the increased use and availability of neglected plants has the potential to enhance food security and food security, overcome the challenges of malnutrition, sustainable crop segregation without income and performance.
