Abstract：
In the dynamic landscape of agriculture and food science, incorporating emergent crops appears as a pioneering solution for diversifying agriculture, unlocking possibilities for sustainable cultivation and nutritional bolstering food security, and creating economic prospects amid evolving environmental and market conditions with positive impacts on human health. This review explores the potential of utilizing emergent crops in Mediterranean environments under current climate scenarios, emphasizing the manifold benefits of agricultural and food system diversification and assessing the impact of environmental factors on their quality and consumer health. Through a deep exploration of the resilience, nutritional value, and health impacts of neglected and underutilized species (NUS) such as quinoa, amaranth, chia, moringa, buckwheat, millet, teff, hemp, or desert truffles, their capacity to thrive in the changing Mediterranean climate is highlighted, offering novel opportunities for agriculture and functional food development. By analysing how promoting agricultural diversification can enhance food system adaptability to evolving environmental conditions, fostering sustainability and resilience, we discuss recent findings that underscore the main benefits and limitations of these crops from agricultural, food science, and health perspectives, all crucial for responsible and sustainable adoption. Thus, by using a sustainable and holistic approach, this revision analyses how the integration of NUS crops into Mediterranean agrifood systems can enhance agriculture resilience and food quality addressing environmental, nutritional, biomedical, economic, and cultural dimensions, thereby mitigating the risks associated with monoculture practices and bolstering local economies and livelihoods under new climate scenarios.
摘要：
在农业和食品科学的动态景观中，纳入新兴作物似乎是农业多样化的开创性解决方案，释放可持续种植和营养支持粮食安全的可能性，并在不断变化的环境和市场条件下创造经济前景，对人类健康产生积极影响。这篇综述探讨了在当前气候情景下，在地中海环境中利用新兴作物的潜力，强调农业和粮食系统多样化的多重好处，并评估环境因素对其质量和消费者健康的影响。通过对韧性的深度探索，营养价值,以及被忽视和未充分利用的物种（NUS）对健康的影响，例如藜麦，栀子,chia,辣木,荞麦,小米,teff,大麻,或者沙漠松露,他们在不断变化的地中海气候中茁壮成长的能力得到了强调，为农业和功能性食品开发提供了新的机会。通过分析促进农业多样化如何增强粮食系统对不断变化的环境条件的适应性，促进可持续性和复原力，我们讨论了最近的发现，这些发现强调了这些作物从农业，食品科学,和健康观点，所有这些对于负责任和可持续的采用至关重要。因此，通过使用可持续和整体的方法，本修订版分析了将NUS作物整合到地中海农业食品系统中如何提高农业韧性和食品质量，以解决环境问题，营养,生物医学,经济,和文化层面，从而减轻与单一文化做法相关的风险，并在新的气候情景下促进当地经济和生计。
