This chapter summarizes local initiatives on traditional management of landscapes and the use of native wild edible plants in different contexts in Brazil. The first case study presents the meliponiculture in the states of Amapá and northeastern Pará, in the Amazon region. The second case study reports on the use of wild edible plants, such as cocoa (Theobroma cacao), employed in chocolate production, and açaí (Euterpe oleracea) harvest as the main products of sociobiodiversity and tourism chains in Pará, in the Amazon biome. The third case study describes institutional actions that expanded the range of options for food production and security in an urban area in southeastern Brazil. We show that traditional landscape management fosters availability, stability, utilization, and access to wild edible food systems.

摘要

This chapter summarizes local initiatives on traditional management of landscapes and the use of native wild edible plants in different contexts in Brazil. The first case study presents the meliponiculture in the states of Amapá and northeastern Pará, in the Amazon region. The second case study reports on the use of wild edible plants, such as cocoa (Theobroma cacao), employed in chocolate production, and açaí (Euterpe oleracea) harvest as the main products of sociobiodiversity and tourism chains in Pará, in the Amazon biome. The third case study describes institutional actions that expanded the range of options for food production and security in an urban area in southeastern Brazil. We show that traditional landscape management fosters availability, stability, utilization, and access to wild edible food systems.
