Perception, Knowledge, Unconventional Food PlantAbstract
The food diversity provided by plants, offers food alternatives for different communities in different regions of Brazil. In this context, Unconventional Food Plant arise, the UFP, which are plants, or part of them, with great food potential, but which are not used by the general population. The UFP have great ecological and economic importance in different contexts. However, people's perception of these resources is not general. Because of this, this work sought, through a systematic review, to analyze ethnobotanical studies with thematic related to the, identify UFP which and where populations that use UFP are found, and extract other general information from these studies, such as their objectives and types of methodology used. The Atlantic Forest vegetation was the ecosystem whose resource extraction was most relevant, with 51%. Rural communities were the most addressed in the studies, with 56% representativeness in this regard. The Asteraceae family was the most represented botanical family in the articles, with 16%. However, Xanthosoma sagittifolium Schott., popularly known as taioba, was the most cited species among all others.
