Exploring the Benefits of Wild Food Plants for Nutritional Security and Rural Livelihoods in Cambodia
Background
The utilization of wild food plants (WFP) has been an integral part of human diets for millennia, particularly in rural and indigenous communities where access to conventional agriculture is limited. This abstract explores the benefits of WFP and their significance for sustaining rural livelihoods in Cambodia.
Objectives
WFP encompass a diverse array of species ranging from leafy greens to fruits, tubers, and roots, many of which are rich sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Through a combination of surveys, nutritional analyses, and participatory assessments, the objective of this study is to shed light on the nutritional composition and potential benefits of commonly consumed WFP.
Study Design
This study employed qualitative methods to explore how households use WFP and their perceived benefits. A total of 103 people participated. Participants for this study were purposively sampled from previously identified rural villages based on if they had experience with wild food plants.
Measurable Outcome/Analysis
The data were analyzed using qualitative coding techniques.
Results
Respondents reported that wild food plants contribute significantly to the dietary diversity and nutritional intake of rural communities, particularly during lean seasons or periods of food scarcity. These plants often contain higher levels of certain nutrients compared to cultivated crops. Furthermore, the sustainable harvest and consumption of wild food plants offer multiple advantages for rural livelihoods, including food security, income generation, and cultural preservation. However, challenges such as habitat loss, pose threats to the availability and sustainability of these resources.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the nutritional benefits of wild food plants are invaluable for rural livelihoods in Cambodia, providing a vital source of nourishment. By recognizing the importance of these plants and implementing measures to safeguard their diversity and availability, we can promote food security, improve nutrition outcomes, and enhance the well-being of rural communities in Cambodia.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (JNEB), the official journal of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior, is a refereed, scientific periodical that serves as a global resource for all professionals with an interest in nutrition education; nutrition and physical activity behavior theories and intervention outcomes; complementary and alternative medicine related to nutrition behaviors; food environment; food, nutrition, and physical activity communication strategies including technology; nutrition-related economics; food safety education; and scholarship of learning related to these areas.
The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
