Ethnopharmacological relevance: Mixtures of wild food plants, part of the Mediterranean diet, have potential benefits for their content in bioactive compounds, minerals and fibres. In Italy, wild plants are still consumed in various ways,... more
It has been estimated that the planet harbors up to 400,000 species of plants (Gaston 2010). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations suggests that 50,000 of these plants are edible by people (FAO 1985). The Society for... more
ABSTRACT This study was conducted with 310 students of a university, to determine the approach of new generations to the plant-based diet and/or animal-based diet, and to examine the contribution of this approach to sustainable food. The... more
The use of starch residue analysis, an archaeobotanical tool, has become progressively more widespread across the world in the past few decades. Starch grains have been used to support key hypotheses regarding residue analysis as well as... more
The study was conducted to understand the role of Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn in enhancing the avifaunal diversity in Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeuschel dominated grassland patches and to realize the influence of adjacent vegetations on... more
The issue of foraging for wild food plants among migrants and relocated communities is an important one in environmental studies, especially in order to understand how human societies rearrange their practices linked to nature and how... more
