Full textThe primary aim of this ethnobotanical dissertation was to provide a biobehavioural focus for indigenous plant use in the semi-arid areas of one of the six so-called Coloured Rural Reserves (Komaggas, Concordia, Richtersveld, Steinkopf, Leliefontein and Pella) in the north-western Cape (Namaqualand). Although much of the indigenous plant lore has been lost through westernization, the descendants of the Nama-speaking Khoi pastoralists, who are traditionally associated with Namaqualand, still partially rely on indigenous plants for subsistence. Firewood is used daily, medicinal plants are collected regularly and edible plants as well as plants used for household and other activities (such as dyeing of leather) are often used. This project can be seen as a rescue operation to obtain information on the use of indigenous plants before this fast-disappearing knowledge is lost. Richtersveld (and Leliefontein, for comparative and enrichment purposes only) were selected because literary sources confirm the observation that these are the areas where customary practises persist. A biobehavioural approach in terms of human-plant interactions has been applied. The main focus of the dissertation is on the diversity of useful plants and the range of activities associated with the use of the plants. The characteristics of the plants have been examined from an emic as well as etic perspective. The emic perspective was found to be particularly significant in assessing plant foods as well as medicinal plants. Etic perspectives were obtained through nutrient analyses of edible plants and discussions and literary research on medicinal compounds in plants used in health care. It seems that the emic and etic perspectives about plants are not as distinct as was initially thought. Peoples' perceptions about the plants guide them in their choice of plants but it is clear that some biological characteristics of the plants give rise to many of these choices. It may be possible to develop a system of criteria for different categories of plants which will enable archaeologists to make inferences about human-plant interactions. The dissertation ends by commenting on the archaeological significance of the way in which plants are used. The conclusion is that the archaeological record is a poor reflection of the range of activities associated with plant use; and a poor reflection of the diversity of plants which are used in subsistence strategies of the pastoralists of Namaqualand.

Full textIn this study, the multidisciplinary epistemology of ethnobotany is reviewed within the wider context of ethnoecology and indigenous knowledge systems. The major problems derived from this theoretical framework cover aspects of the relationship between cultural groups and their natural environment - particularly the botanical component of the latter. Problems and critical questions about this relationship were investigated in selected areas of the Bushbuckridge district, which are inhabited by a number ofTsonga-Shangana communities. Salient aspects of the natural habitat in the study area are discussed with special reference to the vegetation, climate and soil types. A proper understanding of the culturally-based exploitation of plant resources necessitates a sound knowledge of the culture concerned, including relevan t aspects of its value-system and cosmology. In this review, emphasis is placed on those aspects of culture that are directly concerned with the utilisation of plant resources. The latter include a wide range of economic, technological and medicinal uses. Specimens of 200 plants were collected and identified by the University of Limpopo Herbarium. The uses of every species are described. Systematised tables of plant uses are presented, as well as comparative lists in which selected uses are compared to those of other cultures in which the same species are used. The effects of plant utilisation, as well as indigenous forms of resource management, are also discussed. Recommendations are made on how to counter the process of environmental degradation which is caused by over-exploitation .

Full textAfin de reconnaître la contribution de la biodiversité à la santé humaine, de solides preuves scientifiques additionnelles sont requises. D'autre part, la nature multifactorielle de cette relation nécessite l'élaboration de cadres de recherche innovateurs. Ce mémoire présente une étude de cas multidisciplinaire sur la contribution d'éléments de la biodiversité, en particulier les légumes feuillus cultivés et sauvages, en relation avec la prévention de la cataracte liée à l'âge dans le contexte rural de l'Inde du Sud. Au coeur de ce projet, une étude ethnobotanique a permis d'identifier les facteurs déterminant la consommation de légumes feuillus, et de démontrer l'influence significative des propriétés qui leur sont attribuées et de leur statut de culture sur les habitudes de consommation. Les espèces analysées par chromatographie en phase liquide à haute performance ont affiché d'importantes concentrations de lutéine et de β-carotène. Se basant sur ces données ethnobotaniques et analytiques, une étude cas témoin a été conduite dans un centre d'ophtalmologie afin de comparer la consommation de légumes feuillus, en quantité et en diversité, et de lutéine et zéaxanthine, chez des patientes diagnostiquées et des témoins sains. Des associations contradictoires concernant la consommation de légumes feuillus et le risque de cataracte ont été observées. En revanche, certains aliments traditionnels, comme le yaourt et le thé, ont démontré une association négative avec la cataracte. L'intégration de ces études à l'intérieur d'un cadre multidisciplinaire a permis de tenir compte des relations complexes entre les composantes biologiques, socio-économiques et environnementales de la santé de l'oeil et de la diversité botanique, permettant ainsi la découverte d'importantes connaissances applicables à la prévention de la cataracte chez des populations à risque. fr

Resumo: Os povos indígenas utilizam de inúmeras plantas em sua dinâmica cultural e alimentar, entretanto, pouco se sabe a respeito de quais espécies são usadas na alimentação dessas comunidades, diante disso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar quais espécies são utilizadas na alimentação do povo Shanenawa, da aldeia Shane Kaya, município de Feijó, Acre, e quais as formas de cultivo e manejo dessas plantas. Para a obtenção dos dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os moradores da aldeia, utilizados diários de campos para anotações de eventos ocorridos durante a pesquisa e turnês guiadas aos locais de ocorrências das espécies apontadas. As espécies foram coletadas e classificadas botânicamente. Foram identificadas 71 espécies alimentícias, divididas em 28 famílias botânicas, sendo a família Arecaceae a mais predominante em número de espécies. As espécies alimentícias estavam distribuídas entre quatro ambientes, floresta, quintal, roça e roçado. A maioria das espécies alimentícias é cultivada nos quintais localizados no entorno das casas, todavia, existem os espaços destinados somente ao cultivo de espécies de roçados (banana, milho e amendoim) e roça (macaxeira), demonstrando a importância dessas espécies na dieta desse povo. As espécies pertencentes ao ambiente floresta foram classificadas segundo o subtipo de ambiente terra firme, igapó e beira do igarapé.

Abstract: Indigenous people use several plants in their cultural and food dynamics, however, there is little information about which species are used as food by these communities. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate which species are used in the food of the Shanenawa people, from the village Shane Kaya, municipality of Feijó - Acre, and how these plants are cultivated and managed. For the data obtainment, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the villagers, field diaries were used to record events during the research and guided tours to the occurrence sites of the plant species. The species were collected and botanically identified. In total, 71 species were identified, divided into 28 botanical families, being the Arecaceae family the most predominant in the number of species. The food species were distributed among four different locations, forest, backyard, roça, and roçado. Most of the food species are cultivated in the backyards located around the houses, however, there are places intended only for the cultivation of roçado (banana, maize, and peanut) and roça (cassava) species, demonstrating the importance of these species in the diet of these people. The species belonging to the forest environment were classified according to the environment subtype: dryland, igapó forest, and igarapé margin. The community has shown significant knowledge of the cultivated and wild food species, which are consumed and prepared in different ways. The development of ethnobotanical studies with indigenous communities can help in the valorization and conservation of the associated traditional knowledge and make part of the Brazilian biodiversity recognized

Full textEsta Dissertação se ocupa de uma reflexão acerca das atividades agrícolas, desenvolvidas em uma área remanescente da Mata Atlântica, em tempos pretéritos. Através de levantamentos etnobotânicos, realizados através de entrevistas com 17 moradores do bairro de Vargem Grande, mensuramos a forma como o conhecimento advindo deste legado cultural encontra-se disperso entre os atuais agricultores e seus familiares. Analisamos o repertório de plantas cultivadas com finalidades medicinais e utilitárias através de levantamentos etnobotânicos. Este bairro está situado no Maciço da Pedra Branca, que abriga o Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca (PEPB). A criação do PEPB, através da lei estadual nº.2377, de 28 de junho de 1974, impôs progressivamente novas formas de uso e delimitação do espaço que entraram em choque com as práticas tradicionalmente estabelecidas por moradores. Visando o resgate e uma sistematização destes saberes, conhecimentos tradicionais que representam o legado humano na composição da paisagem, explicitaremos as formas como a população local identifica, utiliza e valoriza os recursos botânicos da área de estudo. As coletas botânicas se deram nos quintais dos moradores e/ou nos espaços de cultivo, de acordo com as informações dos participantes. Foram identificadas 221 espécies, 172 gêneros e 71 famílias botânicas das quais Lamiaceae e Asteraceae foram as que mais se sobressaíram e número de espécies. As categorias que se sobressaíram em número de espécies foram as medicinais (122); alimentares (71); ornamentais (34) em comparação com as condimentares (16), rituais (15), uso animal (5), usadas para construção (4) e cosméticas (1). A categoria medicinal foi analisada mais detalhadamente: nove espécies apresentaram valores de CUPc maior que 50% indicando uma alta concordância de uso principal destas. O grande número de espécies alimentares (cultivadas ou não localmente) bem como de medicinais reflete um resultado coerente com o a realidade do grupo social estudado: um grupo inserido em ambiente florestal relativamente distante de grandes centros comerciais
This dissertation deals with a reflection on the agricultural activities carried out in a remnant of the Atlantic, in past times, and by considerations about the ethnobotanical surveys conducted through interviews with 17 residents of the neighborhood Vargem Grande, inferences about how knowledge gained from this cultural legacy is scattered among existing farmers and their families. We analyzed the repertoire of cultivated plants with medicinal purposes and utilitarian through ethnobotanical surveys. This neighborhood is located in the Pedra Branca, which houses the State Park of Pedra Branca (PEPB). The creation of PEPB by state law No .2377, dated 28 June 1974, gradually imposed new forms of use and definition of space that clashed with practices traditionally defined by residents. Seeking redemption and a systematization of this knowledge, traditional knowledge that represent the human legacy in the composition of the landscape, exploring the ways in which the local population identifies, uses and values the botanical resources of the study area. The botanical collections were found in the backyards of residents and / or areas of cultivation, according to information from participants. We identified 221 species, 172 genera and 71 botanical families including Asteraceae and Lamiaceae were the ones that stand out and number of species. The categories that stood out in number of species were medicinal (122), food (71), ornamental (34) compared with the condiments (16), ritual (15), animal use (5), used for construction (4 ) and cosmetic (1). The medical category was analyzed in more detail: nine species showed CUPc values greater than 50% indicating a high agreement of primary use of these. The large number of food species (locally grown or not) as well as medicinal reflects a result consistent with the the reality of the social group studied: one group entered in the forest environment relatively far from major shopping centers and large number of members performing proper agricultural practices said.

Resumo: A Amazônia é um mundo vasto na área de aromas, e os povos da floresta, por sua condição de isolamento, procuram alternativas produtivas mais naturais. Pataqueira Conobea scoparioides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Benth., família Plantaginaceae Juss, é umas destas plantas. O óleo essencial da pataqueira possui boas perspectivas na indústria de fragrâncias, contudo, a sua exploração econômica ainda não é uma realidade devido à sua dificuldade de cultivo. Por se tratar de espécie nativa, com uso tradicional por comunidades, tais sistemas de propagação e produção, baseados em utilização de insumos químicos sintéticos, demanda de altos investimentos e grande complexidade técnica, são pouco acessíveis aos grupos e agricultores que culturalmente se relacionam com esta espécie, além de não serem sistemas ecológicos de produção. O objetivo do presente estudo é desenvolver um protocolo de cultivo para pataqueira (Conobea scoparioides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Benth., de forma conjunta com um grupo de agricultores tradicionais de comunidades do entorno de Belém (PA), assim como estabelecer a cadeia produtiva comercial desta planta, para produção e comercialização da indústria de cosméticos. Para realização dos estudos e do desenvolvimento do sistema de cultivo da pataqueira, foram escolhidas duas comunidades rurais, grupos já realizavam cultivo e coleta de outras espécies aromáticas. Considerando o objeto do estudo, a metodologia utilizada foi "pesquisa ação", a qual possibilita a coleta e compilação de ... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The Amazon is a vast world in the field of aromas, and the forest peoples, because of their isolation, seek natural alternatives. Pataqueira Conobea scoparioides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Benth., Family Plantaginaceae Juss, is one of these plants. The essential oil of pataqueira has good prospects in the industry of fragrances, however, its economic exploitation is not yet a reality due to its difficulty of cultivation. Because they are native species with traditional use by communities, such propagation and production systems, based on the use of synthetic chemical inputs, demand for high investments and great technical complexity, are scarcely accessible to groups and farmers who culturally relate to this species, as well as not being ecological systems of production. The objective of the present study is to develop a protocol for the cultivation of pataqueira (Conobea scoparioides (Cham. & Schltdl.) Benth. Together with a group of traditional farmers from communities around Belém (PA) commercial production of this plant, for the production and commercialization of the cosmetics industry. To carry out the studies and development of the system of cultivation of the pataqueira, two rural communities were chosen, the groups were already cultivating and collecting other aromatic species. The methodology used was 'action research', which enables the collection and compilation of information and knowledge of the native communities, as well as the collective construction of a plant culti...

Full textTraditional wild or weedy leafy green vegetables are an important food source in many parts of Africa, and there have been several recent calls across the continent for interventions promoting the use of these resources for their nutritional values. In South Africa relatively little research attention has been paid to traditional vegetables, known in Zulu as imifino. However it is widely thought that these plants are falling into disuse as food preferences change and exotic vegetables such as spinach or cabbage become more commonly available. This report aims to provide basic understandings to inform the promotion of traditional vegetables in South Africa by exploring their ethnobotanical, ecological and nutritional dynamics. Interdisciplinary methods incorporating anthropology, ecology, nutrition and history are required to present holistic insights into the processes of imifino use and disuse. These techniques are focused on the community of Nkonisa, a forced relocation settlement in rural KwaZulu-Natal. A total of 36 imifino species are known across Nkonisa. Most participants know only a core group of 4-6 species which are locally available and are used frequently within the households. When seasonally available, these plants are harvested by women or children and occasionally sold in local markets. There also is a scattered body of knowledge of lesser known species which are rarely used. Many of these can not be recognised in the field by most participants and are generally thought to be locally unavailable.
