Biodiversity is key for human and environmental health. Available dietary ecological indicators are not designed to assess the intricate relationship between food biodiversity diet quality. We applied intake data from assessed associations with quality of women young children. Data 24-hour recalls (55% in wet season)
To overcome the escalating problems associated with infectious diseases and drug resistance, discovery of new antimicrobials is crucial. The present study aimed to carry out in vitro antimicrobial analysis 15 medicinal plant species selected according their traditional uses Gurage Silti Zones, south central Ethiopia. Ethanol extracts various parts were investigated for activity against 20 bacterial one yeast strains. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by broth...
The phytotherapeutic knowledge of the Kongo people in territories Kisantu and Mbanza-Ngungu Kongo-Central Province (DR Congo) is rapidly eroding. To document remaining knowledge, we conducted an ethnobotanical survey on most important medicinal plant species diseases treated with them, as well plants therapeutic potential. We also checked for cultural similarity between two how about differs different social groups.From June 2017 until February 2018 from 2019 April 2019, a 188...
Abstract In Africa, cocoa yields are low, partly due to soil fertility constraints and poor management. While peoples’ knowledge, aspirations, abilities key factors explaining their behaviour, little is known about the rationales that underpin management practices (SFMPs) of farmers. To address this gap, we conducted an exploratory survey in two contrasting regions Cameroon where important crop: humid forest forest-savannah transition zone. Some 30% farmers zone as opposed 13% expressed...
Abstract Background The use of medicinal plants is integral to global healthcare systems, with Sub-Saharan Africa maintaining a robust tradition herbal medicine alongside Western-oriented healthcare. As migrant communities tend continue traditional practices after migration, documenting this vital develop culturally sensitive This study investigates plant usage and perspectives in the context sexual reproductive health among Congolese community Belgium, particularly Matongé quarter Brussels....
Determining the main pollinators and factors that control their abundance is a prerequisite for improving production of many crops, including globally important cash crop cacao (Theobroma L.). Yet, identity breeding habitats remain controversial since they are very difficult to identify morphologically due small size. It known tiny midges involved in pollination, but diversity ecology obscure. Here, we combined collection flower visitors, use emergence traps, DNA barcoding assess dipteran...
This paper focuses on the impact of geographical indications (GIs) Koerintji cinnamon its value chain. The study was performed from September 2017 to November in Talang Kemuning, Kerinci regency, Indonesia. A village farmers’ group surveyed using a semi-structured questionnaire, roundtable discussions, interviews, and direct observations understand whether GIs improve income, source production, promote product quality. Using descriptive method, literature topic analyzed, chain structured...
This paper uses value chain analysis as a novel method to examine the conservation status of and strategies for cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.), an underutilized, perennial fruit species native Andean valleys Ecuador, Peru Bolivia. It was found that features such market channels, governance, quality performance distribution added over actors differ significantly between fruits are registered by collective trademark Cumbe variety another group more traditionally produced commercialized...

Although family physicians (FPs) are community-oriented primary care generalists and should be the entry point for population's interaction with health system, they underrepresented in research on climate change, migration, health(care) nexus (hereafter referred to as nexus). Similarly, FPs can provide valuable insights into building capacity through integrating health-determining sectors climate-resilient migration-inclusive systems, especially Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Here, we explore...
Cinnamomum burmannii (Nees & T. Nees) Blume is an endemic tree of up to 20 meters tall that grows in the surrounding forest Kerinci regency. Cinnamon one most valuable non-timber products (NTFP) harvested from Kerinci. The classified as NTFP based on criteria set out by a regulation Indonesian Ministry Forestry 2007. As result, it must be sustainably. Its massive cultivation has caused deforestation several areas objective this paper assess environmental impacts continuous C. harvesting...
