“…The commodity status seems to be replaced with societal relations in the form of family and the "handing down" of crops through generations. In conclusion, the term 'heirloom' resembles some relevance to culture, community, and the act of food production, all of which refer to the overall indigenous food system of rural settlements, which can prove to be a valuable source of new ingredients, flavors, and culinary concepts [19,56].…”

“…Seed banks act as the major institutions for preserving crop seeds and associated information collection; however, this is often limited to the English/Latin colloquial and taxonomic species names, which can include agri-developed cultivars and landrace (LR) species, which means that it can be difficult to distinguish the two. Moreover, the cultural context of LRs [19,20] is 'culturally/people'-based, as opposed to cultivars strictly referring to 'true to type' propagation, which is often commercially driven. These parameters, together with accession year, and sometimes with unspecified collection location, make their popularization-that could otherwise draw on perceptions of heritage and local environment suitability-challenging.…”

“…These parameters, together with accession year, and sometimes with unspecified collection location, make their popularization-that could otherwise draw on perceptions of heritage and local environment suitability-challenging. This scenario has developed, especially as seedbanks' primary purpose is seed/genetic preservation and crop development, not revival [19,20].…”

Global levels of biodiversity and dietary diversity are decreasing, leading to food and nutrition insecurity. This is partially due to the homogenization of the global food supply with commodity crops. The reintroduction or introduction of neglected and underutilized species, minor, forgotten, and indigenous crops and landrace varieties to the wider food systems and further diversification have been outlined as the future strategies for tackling the above by the United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organization in their policy frameworks. Most of the above species/crops are marginalized and only used across local food systems and in research. With over 15,000 different seed banks and repositories worldwide, information transparency and communication are crucial for database searching and their effective utilization. Much confusion persists around the true nature of those plants, and this prohibits the efficient utilization of their economic potential. A linguistic corpus search and a systematic literature review were conducted using the six most popular collocates to the above terms, which were as follows: ancient, heirloom, heritage, traditional, orphan, and the more distinct term ‘landrace’. The results were interpreted using the Critical Discourse Analysis method. The definitions’ findings show that heirloom, heritage, and ancient are mainly used in the United Kingdom and USA, where they are used to describe ‘naturalized’ and ‘indigenized’ or ‘indigenous’ food crops with a strong affiliation to ‘family’ and the ‘act of passing seeds down from generation to generation’. Orphan crops, on the other hand, are often described as being ‘overlooked’ by growers and ‘underfunded’ by researchers. Landrace is most strongly affiliated with ‘locality’, ‘biocultural diversity’, and ‘indigenous’, and with genomics literature, where the characteristics are often discussed in the context of genetics and population biology. Contextualizing, most of the terms were found to be ‘arbitrary’ and ‘undefinable’ due to their continuing evolution in the socially accepted form of language, perhaps apart from landrace. The review has retrieved 58 definitions for the mentioned 6 terms, together with the primary key terms creating a tool to facilitate a better inter-sector communication and aid in policy.

“…Nowadays, adding value to agricultural goods is common. Using agricultural goods, producers may produce value -added products in addition to jams and jellies (Gupta et al, 2018). Fruit farmers may fry the fruit and use it to make wines, juices, vinegar syrups, and preserves.…”

Nutrition and health are gaining significant focus as people seek convenient, nutrient-rich food options. Food processing must be efficient, cost-effective, and durable to meet these demands. Transforming fruits into diverse products using affordable technology can boost the economy for farmers and the nation. Fruit-based goods with high potassium and low salt offer substantial dietary benefits, making them valuable to health-conscious consumers.The present study aimed to study different value-added products from fruits and to increase their shelf life. Perishable fruit has losses during postharvest changes. Different strategies are required to avoid such losses. One method is to transform fruits into value-added goods. The transition of a raw resource or commodity into a processed product by combining raw materials, labour, time, and technology to produce a higher financial return is known as value addition in fruit processing. It focuses on ending hunger, achieving food security, improving nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. Value-added fruit products can contribute to food security by achieving sustainable goals of good health and well-being. The study concluded that value-added fruit products play a vital role in the food industry, benefiting both producers and consumers. They reduce food waste, provide economic opportunities for farmers, and offer consumers convenient, nutritious, and flavourful options. The value-added fruit product market will likely further,contributing to the agricultural sector’s sustainability and worldwide consumer well being. This review details the value-added products in fruits.

“…Vulnerable populations, including smallholder farmers, children, women, and indigenous communities relying on traditional crops, may face threats to their livelihoods and food security (2), due to crop genetic erosion caused by underutilization of these crop species. Underutilized crops may promote better health for both individuals and the environment due to exceptional adaptation traits and nutritionally superior profiles compared to major crops (3)(4)(5)(6). Therefore, the use of neglected and underutilized species into the current cropping systems could help reduce imbalanced diets, food scarcity and diversify the homogeneous crops systems.…”
