Uncultivated plants and livelihood support –a case study from the Chepang people of Nepal
This study documents the use of uncultivated plants, their status and contribution to the livelihoods of Chepang people in the mid-hills of Nepal. Diversity fairs, key informant surveys, group discussions and individual household surveys were conducted. The plants identified were used as food, vegetables, medicine, and for cultural and economic reasons. The uses of 85 uncultivated plant species were documented of which 72% had multiple functions.…

The contribution of wild vegetables to micronutrient intakes among women
No previous dietary intake study in Vietnam has focused on contemporary use of wild vegetables (Rau dai). In this study the contribution of such gathered vegetables to micronutrient intake of women was investigated in two villages in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Dietary assessments (24‐h recall and repeated 7‐day FFQ) were conducted on 110 and 101 women, respectively, in the rainy season as well as the flood period. Twenty aquatic and terrestrial w…
Value of traditional foods in meeting macro- and micronutrient needs
The importance of edible wild plants may be traced to antiquity but systematic studies are recent. Anthropologists, botanists, ecologists, food scientists, geographers, nutritionists, physicians and sociologists have investigated cultural aspects and nutrient composition of edible species. Important contributions to the diet from edible wild plants are well documented and numerous studies reveal roles played by ‘lesser-known’ species when meeting…

Legacy of the chameleon
This paper presents cultural and ecological data on division of labor, collection, storage and the use of edible wild plants. Primary responsibility for the collection of plants is with women. Most collecting occurs just before mealtime. Usually only enough for one meal is gathered. Swazi seldom mark favorite localities where wild plants are obtained; to do so is considered selfish. Of 211 adults surveyed, 50 cultivated edible wild species in hou…
Legacy of the chameleon
This paper presents objectives; methods; an introduction to the people, culture and diet of Swaziland, site for a cultural‐ecological study of edible wild plants. Swaziland is ethnically homogeneous, but environmentally diverse. Four distinct botanical zones are recognized: Highveld, Middleveld, Lowveld and Lubombo. Study objectives were to identify maintenance or abandonment of edible plant consumption by both Swazi adults and school children in…
Legacy of the chameleon
This paper presents proximate analysis, protein and mineral values for 29 important wild plant species consumed in Swaziland. Leaf protein ranged from 1.30–7.50 %; the highest values were from the genera Grewia, Momordica and Pouzolzia. High calcium sources were Corchorus spp., Grewia spp. and Pouzolzia parasitica. Plants with a high iron concentration included Corchorus spp., Ipomoea sp. and Zantedeschia sp. Wild leaves were the main dietary acc…
Legacy of the chameleon
This paper, the second of four, presents demographic characteristics for 211 adults and 140 school children surveyed in four ecological zones in the Kingdom of Swaziland. It identifies edible species recognized and consumed, and concludes with an analysis of edible plant use by ecological zone. Swaziland is culturally homogeneous: 90 % of persons interviewed were ethnic Swazi; 46 % had no formal education; 60 % of adults were born or had lived fo…
