Abstract
This short take explains how we developed a photographic guide for assessing biodiversity in food consumption studies with taxonomy accuracy. To build the guide, we followed the “Guidelines on Assessing Biodiverse Foods in Dietary Intake Surveys” of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. As far as we know, this is the first tool developed in Brazil to support dietary surveys that consider food biodiversity. As researchers, this guide may help us make local biodiverse food more visible in food studies, improving our capacity to evaluate their contribution to nutritional and cultural outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Field Methods (formerly Cultural Anthropology Methods) is devoted to articles about the methods used by field wzorkers in the social and behavioral sciences and humanities for the collection, management, and analysis data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. Articles should focus on innovations and issues in the methods used, rather than on the reporting of research or theoretical/epistemological questions about research. High-quality articles using qualitative and quantitative methods-- from scientific or interpretative traditions-- dealing with data collection and analysis in applied and scholarly research from writers in the social sciences, humanities, and related professions are all welcome in the pages of the journal.
