Toward the sustainable expansion of the wild edible plant production chain
Myrciaria floribunda (West ex Willd.) O.Berg, commonly known as cambuí , is a wild edible fruit with high socioeconomic potential. However, its value chain remains geographically limited and poorly explored. In this study, we sought to identify bottlenecks and understand how the cambuí ( Myrciaria floribunda (West ex Willd.) O.Berg) value chain is structured in the São Francisco River mouth region, in Northeastern Brazil. A total of 116 local col…
The role of local experts in the selection and use of fodder crop species
Background: Native vegetation is the primary source of animal forage in Brazil's semiarid region. However, comprehensive ethnobotanical studies are lacking, hindering understanding of local knowledge on Caatinga plants and their selection criteria for animal feed. The study aims to investigate the differential use of native Caatinga plant species for domestic animal feeding and identify factors influencing their use in a rural community in the No…
Wild food plants with the potential to improve food and nutrition security may be threatened by timber extraction
Wild food plants can contribute to improving the food and nutrition security of local populations by promoting diet diversification and increasing the intake of micro- and macronutrients. However, many of these plants are also used as timber. Wild food species need to be identified and their food–wood use interactions need to be well understood for the development of conservation strategies, as species with the potential to improve food and nutri…
Wild plants and the food-medicine continuum-an ethnobotanical survey in Chapada Diamantina (Northeastern Brazil)
BackgroundEthnobotanical research has demonstrated that several wild food plants (WFP) are used for medicinal purposes. Therefore, in addition to constituting an important source of nutrients, WFP can be used to help treat and avoid health problems. This study sought to characterize the traditional use of plants considered simultaneously as food and medicine by local specialists in the community of Caeté-Açu, which borders Chapada Diamantina Nati…
Experiências De Popularização De Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais No Estado De Alagoas, Brasil
Os seres humanos vêm restringindo a diversidade de alimentos em sua dieta ao longo dos anos, devido ao processo de globalização dos sistemas agroalimentares. Neste sentido, a promoção da popularização de plantas alimentícias não convencionais (PANC) pode ter importantes implicações nutricionais, ecológicas e socioeconômicas. Neste artigo buscamos descrever algumas estratégias de popularização das PANC no Estado de Alagoas realizadas pelo Laborató…
Local criteria for the selection of wild food plants for consumption and sale in Alagoas, Brazil
Understanding the reasons for the consumption of certain plant resources instead of others has important implications for biological conservation. This study aimed to answer the following question: What are the factors that determine the consumption and perceived commercial potential of certain wild fruit species among extractivists from two rural communities in northeastern Brazil? This study developed a participatory approach to identify the fr…
