\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
The importance of forests and trees in farming systems for promoting agricultural production and providing better diets to rural and urban populations is increasingly being recognised. The walnut"=fruit forests in Kyrgyzstan constitute a unique resource in this regard. Simultaneously, they are of global importance with regard to their biodiversity. However, current patterns of forest management are unsustainable and gains derived from these forests are unequally distributed and do not benefit the majority of local populations. Walnut (Juglans regia) kernels have traditionally been used for human diets. Although the walnut value chain in Kyrgyzstan is of significant economic importance, the level of domestic processing is low and locally manufactured walnut products are of low quality. Several other wild plant species of these forests possess significant potential to contribute to human nutrition and household income. However, these species are currently regarded as underutilised as their potential for improving local diets and livelihoods is not yet fully utilised, value chains are not developed, and they are largely neglected by current research and extension efforts. Commercialisation of such underutilised species can --- under certain conditions --- be a potential strategy for `conservation through use' and improving livelihoods of rural communities at the same time. Based on a review of literature and previous scientific work, the need for interdisciplinary research has been identified that addresses the following knowledge gaps:



-	The phytochemical and technological potential of commercially less important wild forest species for the development of innovative (functional) food products;



-	Improved processing techniques (e.g. solar drying) for higher product quality, better conservation of valuable components (e.g. vitamins, antioxidants) and increased value creation;



-	The morphological diversity and productivity of these species, as well as development of sustainable management practices and systems;



-	The potential contribution of these species to household income, long"=term supply and price, markets and trade patterns, profitability of processing, and the distribution of rents among stakeholders of the market chain.



Such research work can contribute to more widely distributing the benefits from the walnut"=fruit forests among local populations in Kyrgyzstan.
