A decision-analysis framework for school garden investments in Vietnam
This study presents a holistic decision analysis framework for optimizing school garden interventions in public and private schools across Vietnam. We evaluate the effects of such interventions on child health, biodiversity, and economic outcomes, analyzing five investment scenarios, from passive gardens to STEM-focused programs. Using food environment and food system frameworks, we mapped impact pathways to identify trade-offs, synergies, risks,…
Wild edible plants selection of Tibetan and Naxi people in Northwest Yunnan, China
Wild edible plants are important resources for dietary diversity and health worldwide. However, little is known about the selection process of these species for health and nutrition by human communities. We employed negative binomial, Poisson models, and Bayesian approaches to test for a non-random selection of wild edible plants among the Tibetan and Naxi people in Northwest Yunnan, China, and explore biocultural drivers of plant selection proce…
Allometric models for aboveground biomass estimation of small trees and shrubs in African savanna ecosystems
Quantification of plant biomass and carbon in ecosystems is critical for establishing climate change mitigation potential. For large trees in various ecosystems, allometric models for estimating biomass have been developed but few biomass equations exist for small trees and shrubby vegetation. Allometric above-ground biomass (AGB) models are needed for small trees and shrubs in order to improve the quantification of biomass, particularly for sava…
Integrated Participatory Approach Reveals Perceived Local Availability of Wild Edible Plants in Northwestern Kenya
Availability is a crucial aspect of wild edible plants (WEPs) consumption by indigenous communities. Understanding the local perception of this availability helps to determine, which contribution WEPs can make to rural communities. We used an integrated participatory approach to investigate important parameters and themes that influenced the perception of availability of woody WEPs. We demonstrate the approach in three communities in Turkana Coun…
Indigenous communities' perceptions reveal threats and management options of wild edible plants in semiarid lands of northwestern Kenya
BackgroundUnderstanding how local communities perceive threats and management options of wild edible plants (WEPs) is essential in developing their conservation strategies and action plans. Due to their multiple use values, including nutrition, medicinal, construction, and cultural as well as biotic and abiotic pressures, WEPs are exposed to overexploitation, especially within arid and semiarid lands, and hence the need to manage and conserve the…
Priority Species and Management Approaches for Woody Species
A holistic sustainability assessment of organic (certified and non-certified) and non-organic smallholder farms in Kenya
The introduction of organic farm management practices in sub-Saharan Africa could act as a lever for supporting regional sustainable development. In this study, we sought to assess the sustainability performance of organic (certified and non-certified) and non-organic farms in the dry Kajiado County and the wet Murang’a County in Kenya, based on four sustainability dimensions: Good Governance , Environmental Integrity , Economic Resilience and So…
Stochastic simulation of restoration outcomes for a dry afromontane forest landscape in northern Ethiopia
Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) is carried out with the objective of regaining ecological functions and enhancing human well-being through intervention in degrading ecosystems. However, uncertainties and risks related to FLR make it difficult to predict long-term outcomes and inform investment plans. We applied a Stochastic Impact Evaluation framework (SIE) to simulate returns on investment in the case of FLR interventions in a degraded dr…

The uses of fig (Ficus) by five ethnic minority communities in Southern Shan State, Myanmar
BackgroundMost regions of Myanmar fall within the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot and are threatened with biodiversity loss. Development of a comprehensive framework for sustainable development is crucial. Figs are ecological keystone species within these regions and are also important for traditional spiritual food and health uses, which often have accompanying conservation practices. The traditional use and management of figs may offer clues to…
The secret of health in daily cuisine
Background Central Myanmar is located in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, and the Bamar people are the main ethnic group, which settled there over 1000 years ago. Despite being the core region of the country, central Myanmar has been ignored in previous ethnobotanical studies. Local healthy foods and knowledge are regarded as treasures for resource development and pharmaceutical drug discovery, and market surveys are a good strategy in ethnob…
The Role of Homegardens for Food and Nutrition Security in Uganda
Ethnobotany and Agrobiodiversity
Homegardens are species-rich agroforestry systems with a high diversity of associated traditional knowledge. These systems are an important part of food security for rural marginalized poor around the world, particularly in the humid tropics. Despite the high diversity and cultural importance, little is known about the livelihood-relevant plant diversity contained in the homegardens of southwestern Uganda. Here we employ the quantitative ethnobot…
Crop diversity in homegardens of southwest Uganda and its importance for rural livelihoods
Learning with Elders
This article explores data gathered through an applied human ecology and ethnobotany study of selected elders from the Vietnamese Dao, Hmong, Kinh, Ma-Lieng, Sach, Tai, Tay, and Xinh-Mun ethnic groups. The research catalogued traditional uses and conservation practices related to biodiversity and plant use in northern and central Vietnam. The study utilized a human ecology systems theory approach developed by the indigenous and ethnic minority pe…
Conservation and Ethnobotanical Knowledge of a Hmong Community in Long Lan, Luang Prabang, Lao People's Democratic Republic
In 2012 and 2013 participatory ethnobotany explorations were undertaken with herbalists from the Hmong ethnic group of Long Lan village, in Luang Prabang, Lao People’s Democratic Republic. These investigations into the knowledge and experience of indigenous elders of Long Lan and surrounding villages sought to identify the relationship between the spiritual-cultural practices and livelihood uses of plants and their conservation. Information about…
