Ethnobiology of Wartime: Where Wild Plants are Crucial for Food Security
Sreda, 12. februar 2025, ob 19.00, ZOOM
About lecture:
Wild food plants (WFPs) have been an important source of human nutrition since ancient times, and they particularly revive when conventional food is not available due to emergency situations, such as natural disasters and conflicts. Nearly 60% of the Syrian population (12.4 million people) are food insecure due to the current war. The presentation focuses on the conflict’s effect on the use of WFPs and on what species are consumed by local people during the current crisis. The study docuemts 75 wild food plant species used for food and drink.
