Local knowledge as a tool for prospecting wild food plants: experiences in northeastern Brazil

Abstract This study aims to provide a simple framework to identify wild food plants with potential for popularization based on local knowledge and perception. To this end, we also characterized the distribution of this knowledge in the socio-ecological system. We developed the study in the rural set...
