The black plum Vitex doniana is a wild tree widely distributed in Africa. It is consumed as a leafy vegetable by at least 22 ethnic groups in Benin and also used as a source of income. This research analyzed the value chain of this leafy vegetable in order to define strategies that create added value for maximum profits for stakeholders. For each segment of the value chain, we investigated the flow of goods and services, financial flows, opportunities, and bottlenecks. The results indicate that three groups of stakeholders, including collectors-processors, wholesalers, and retailers, were involved in the production and marketing of Vitex doniana leaves. The Vitex doniana investigated in this study came from Kpokissa, a village located in the southeast near Bohicon. Vitex doniana was parboiled before selling and generated reasonable income for stakeholders. Bottlenecks in this value chain included the low density of trees for high productivity, the use of traditional tools for leaf harvest, and poor yield performance of trees due to ageing. Moreover, Vitex doniana was not found in supermarkets and small restaurants, indicating that the species remains an underutilized leafy vegetable. The analysis of the Vitex doniana value chain revealed that some consumers adopted freeze preservation, which requires keeping the pre-cooked vegetable below 0 °C before further use. This method added value. These results provide a baseline for further investigations in improving the value chain of Vitex doniana.

黑梅是一种广泛分布于非洲的野生乔木。它被贝宁至少22个民族作为一种叶菜食用,也被用作一种收入来源。本研究分析了这种叶菜的价值链,以确定为利益相关者创造最大利润的附加价值的策略。对于价值链的每个环节,我们调查了商品和服务的流动、资金流、机会和瓶颈。结果表明,采收加工商、批发商和零售商三种利益相关者群体参与了牡荆叶的生产和销售。在这项研究中调查的牡荆来自Kpokissa,一个位于Bohicon附近东南部的村庄。黄荆在出售前被煮熟,为股东创造了合理的收入。这条价值链的瓶颈包括低密度的高生产力树木,使用传统工具收割树叶,以及由于老化导致的树木产量表现不佳。此外,在超市和小餐馆中没有发现白荆,表明该物种仍然是一种未充分利用的叶类蔬菜。对黄荆价值链的分析显示,部分消费者采用冷冻保存方式,即将预熟蔬菜保存在0°C以下,然后再食用。这种方法增加了价值。这些结果为进一步研究如何完善黄荆的价值链提供了基础。

Local medical systems (LMSs) are shaped by the interaction of human beings with biota, so understanding how human beings use natural resources for their survival is one of the most discussed topics in ethnobiology studies. Although many studies have focused on describing the structure of LMSs (for example, plants or animals used for medicine), there is a need to better understand their functionality (for example, how the species are used) and maintenance, with emphasis on their resilience. This synthesis is based on a literature review about the functioning of LMSs. Also, to better understand the dynamics of these medical systems, it takes into account literature about learning processes and knowledge variation across different spatial scales. The evidence indicates that the incorporation and differential use of medicinal resources can be predicted by the social-ecological theory of maximization, which postulates that human cognitive and behavioral mechanisms mediate the selection of strategies that maximize benefits and reduce costs in human interactions with the environment, thereby reinforcing the complexity and dynamism of LMSs since several factors can affect their functionality. We identify gaps in this area and suggest directions for future research that seeks to understand the functionality of LMSs.

当地医疗系统(lms)是由人类与生物群的相互作用形成的,因此了解人类如何利用自然资源来生存是民族生物学研究中讨论最多的话题之一。尽管许多研究侧重于描述lms的结构(例如,用于医学的植物或动物),但需要更好地了解它们的功能(例如,物种如何被使用)和维护,重点是它们的恢复力。本综述是基于对lms功能的文献综述。此外,为了更好地理解这些医疗系统的动态,它考虑了关于学习过程和不同空间尺度的知识变化的文献。这些证据表明,药物资源的整合和差异利用可以通过最大化的社会生态学理论来预测,该理论假设人类的认知和行为机制调节了人类与环境相互作用中利益最大化和成本降低的策略选择,从而增强了lms的复杂性和动态性,因为有几个因素可以影响它们的功能。我们确定了这一领域的空白,并提出了未来研究的方向,旨在了解lms的功能。

Abstract Leafy green vegetables have been a part of human diets throughout human history. Globally, they are gaining recognition since these wild foods could play an important role in food security. Quelites (the Mexican term for these resources) are dehydrated to produce “quelites pasados” by the Rarámuri in anticipation of the scarcity of food in winter. The diversity of quelites in the state of Chihuahua includes species of the widely consumed Amaranthus , as well as endemic, native, and introduced species that are eaten locally. The present work generated nutritional, sensory, and molecular information on four species that are consumed in the Sierra Tarahumara: Amaranthus palmeri , Amaranthus powellii , Arracacia edulis , and Phacelia platycarpa . Their nutritional analysis exhibited high protein values and a significant concentration of macro- and micronutrients. The acceptance by the public of the species of Amaranthus was high, while that of Arracacia edulis and Phacelia platycarpa was lower. Because of the morphological similarity within the two pairs of quelites, their DNA barcodes were generated as an identification tool which, together with the nutritional and sensory results, provides added value to the four “quelites pasados” of the Sierra Tarahumara. This study could be considered a starting point for sustainable use of native vegetables in future economic programs of regional agrobiodiversity, and even replicated globally.
在整个人类历史上,绿叶蔬菜一直是人类饮食的一部分。在全球范围内,由于这些野生食物可以在粮食安全方面发挥重要作用,它们正在获得认可。quelite(墨西哥对这些资源的称呼)被Rarámuri脱水制成“quelite pasados”,以应对冬季食物的短缺。奇瓦瓦州quelites的多样性包括广泛食用的Amaranthus物种,以及当地食用的地方性、本地和引进物种。本研究获得了塔拉乌马拉山脉食用的四种植物的营养、感官和分子信息:棕苋菜、细苋菜、毛豆苋菜和白菖蒲。他们的营养分析显示高蛋白值和显著浓度的宏量和微量营养素。公众对苋属植物的认可度较高,而对毛茛和白菖蒲的认可度较低。由于两对quelites在形态上的相似性,它们的DNA条形码被生成作为一种识别工具,连同营养和感官结果,为Sierra Tarahumara的四个“quelites pasados”提供了附加价值。本研究可作为未来区域农业生物多样性经济规划中乡土蔬菜可持续利用的一个起点,并可在全球范围内推广。

Abstract In the context of global change, understanding the knowledge and values given to plants is crucial for choosing relevant approaches towards a more sustainable future. Children are central holders of ethnobotanical knowledge, yet they are still under-considered in ethnobotany. Our study explored the medicinal knowledge of children of the Baka, forager-horticulturalists from Cameroon. We assessed the diversity of medicinal plants they know, the different ailments treated, and whether they could name complete herbal recipes. Using a mixed-methods approach, we combined ex situ interviews (freelisting and knowledge surveys) with in situ methods (walk-in-the-woods trips with voucher collection) with 106 children from 5 to 16 years old. They listed 128 local names of medicinal plants, which we linked to 126 different plant species. While the ex situ and in situ methods had some overlap in the diversity of medicinal plants reported, they also revealed substantial knowledge unique to each method. Our insights provide further evidence of children’s considerable ethnobotanical knowledge and the extent to which different field methods can retrieve such knowledge. We discuss the methodological tools to be developed with and for children to put childhood at the center stage of ethnobotanical approaches for the future.
在全球变化的背景下,了解植物的知识和价值对于选择相关的方法来实现更可持续的未来至关重要。儿童是民族植物学知识的核心持有者,然而他们在民族植物学中仍然没有得到充分的考虑。我们的研究探索了来自喀麦隆的采集园艺师巴卡儿童的医学知识。我们评估了他们知道的药用植物的多样性,治疗的不同疾病,以及他们是否能说出完整的草药配方。采用混合方法,我们将非原位访谈(自由列表和知识调查)与原位方法(在森林中行走并收集代金券)结合起来,对106名5至16岁的儿童进行了调查。他们列出了128种当地药用植物的名称,我们将它们与126种不同的植物物种联系起来。虽然移地方法和原位方法在药用植物多样性方面有一些重叠,但它们也揭示了每种方法特有的大量知识。我们的见解提供了进一步的证据,证明儿童具有相当多的民族植物学知识,以及不同的领域方法可以检索这些知识的程度。我们讨论了与儿童一起开发并为儿童开发的方法工具,以便将儿童置于未来民族植物学方法的中心阶段。

Abstract Interdisciplinary research on people, plants, and environmental change (IRPPE) typically requires collaboration among experts who each bring distinct knowledge and skills to bear on the questions at hand. The benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary research in principle are thus confounded by the dynamics of multidisciplinary collaboration in practice. However, broadly trained researchers can do IRPPE with little or no need of collaborators. For them, collaborative challenges may be negligible, but others arise. This paper reflects on experiences doing (mostly) solo research on peoples’ use of trees and their impacts on forests in the Caribbean and Philippines. Multidisciplinary collaborations are often plagued with problems of communication, theoretical disagreement, and methodological incompatibility because the habits and conceits of a rigorous disciplinary education are difficult to undo. These are problems that novel concepts, theory, and analytical frameworks promise but often fail to resolve. By contrast, going solo fosters an epistemic humility and pragmatic sensibility that encourages focused, efficient application of methods, and integration of research findings. Epistemic breadth encourages solo IRPPE researchers to apply theory sparingly and deploy clear concepts and precise analyses of the kind readily grasped by natural and social scientists and policy makers, alike.
人、植物和环境变化的跨学科研究通常需要专家之间的合作,他们各自具有不同的知识和技能来解决手头的问题。因此,跨学科研究的好处和挑战在原则上被实践中多学科合作的动态所混淆。然而,受过广泛训练的研究人员可以在很少或不需要合作者的情况下进行IRPPE。对他们来说,合作的挑战可能可以忽略不计,但其他挑战也会出现。本文反映了在加勒比和菲律宾进行(主要是)单独研究人们对树木的利用及其对森林的影响的经验。多学科合作经常受到沟通问题、理论分歧和方法不相容的困扰,因为严格的学科教育的习惯和自负很难消除。这些问题是新的概念、理论和分析框架所承诺的,但往往无法解决。相比之下,单干培养了一种认知上的谦逊和务实的敏感性,鼓励专注、有效地应用方法,并整合研究成果。认知广度鼓励独立的IRPPE研究人员谨慎地应用理论,并部署清晰的概念和精确的分析,这些概念和分析很容易被自然和社会科学家以及政策制定者所掌握。

The Relation Between Ashaninka Amazonian Society and Cultivated Acanthaceae Plants 阿沙宁卡亚马孙社会与棘科栽培植物的关系

Abstract The article discusses the relationships between Ashaninka people from Peruvian Amazonia and the ibinishi ethnotaxon corresponding to several species from the Acanthaceae family cultivated in Ashaninka home gardens. The information on cultivated Acanthaceae comes from 59 gardens in 12 native communities along the Tambo River valley in Peruvian Upper Amazonia. The data were interpreted with a more-than-utility theoretical-methodological approach. Ibinishi , also known as pinitsi , are the second major group of cultivated medicinal plants after ibenki ( Cyperus spp.) by the Ashaninka. An over-differentiation phenomenon is observed, in which three species of Justicia , one of Lepidagathis , and one of Ruellia correspond to 66 different ethnospecies of ibinishi . Their names are secondary lexemes, and in their meaning, they refer mostly to visions, spirits, and human and animal sorcerers. A wide scope of uses is connected to Ashaninka etiologies but only partly supported by the secondary metabolites found in those species. The ethnomedical phenomenon of ibinishi has been found among the Ashaninka but not among other Arawak-speaking groups in Amazonia. Compared to ethnographic sources, the importance of ibinishi seems to have grown among the Ashaninka, which may be ascribed to the armed conflicts and social unrest this group has gone through in recent times.
摘要本文讨论了秘鲁亚马逊地区阿沙宁卡人与阿沙宁卡人家庭花园中几种棘科植物所对应的ibinishi人种分类群之间的关系。关于棘科植物的栽培信息来自秘鲁上亚马逊河流域坦博河谷沿线12个土著社区的59个花园。这些数据是用一种超越效用的理论方法来解释的。Ibinishi,也被称为pinitsi,是阿沙宁卡人种植的仅次于ibenki(莎草属)的第二大药用植物群。结果表明,有3个属、1个属和1个属分别对应66个属。他们的名字是次要词汇,在他们的意义上,他们主要指的是幻象、灵魂、人类和动物巫师。广泛的使用范围与阿沙宁卡的病因有关,但在这些物种中发现的次生代谢物仅部分支持。在阿沙宁卡人中发现了ibinishi的民族医学现象,但在亚马逊地区说阿拉瓦克语的其他群体中没有发现。与人种学资料相比,ibinishi在阿沙宁卡人中的重要性似乎有所增加,这可能归因于该群体最近经历的武装冲突和社会动荡。

The information on cultivated Acanthaceae comes from 59 gardens in 12 native communities along the Tambo River valley in Peruvian Upper Amazonia. The data were interpreted with a more-than-utility theoretical-methodological approach. Ibinishi , also known as pinitsi , are the second major group of cultivated medicinal plants after ibenki ( Cyperus spp.) by the Ashaninka. An over-differentiation phenomenon is observed, in which three species of Justicia , one of Lepidagathis , and one of Ruellia correspond to 66 different ethnospecies of ibinishi . Their names are secondary lexemes, and in their meaning, they refer mostly to visions, spirits, and human and animal sorcerers. A wide scope of uses is connected to Ashaninka etiologies but only partly supported by the secondary metabolites found in those species. The ethnomedical phenomenon of ibinishi has been found among the Ashaninka but not among other Arawak-speaking groups in Amazonia. Compared to ethnographic sources, the importance of ibinishi seems to have grown among the Ashaninka, which may be ascribed to the armed conflicts and social unrest this group has gone through in recent times.","PeriodicalId":11412,"journal":{"name":"Economic Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135394692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
