TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected information from four years of ethnobotanical study in an area of caatinga vegetation in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil with the goal of defining a model for conservation and management actions in the region.

TL;DR: Famine foods of Brazil's Seasonal Dry Forests: Ethnobotanical and Nutritional Aspects as discussed by the authors was conducted in two rural Caatinga communities, Carao and Cachoeira, in the states of Pernambuco and Paraiba, to determine the chemical composition of the major famine foods utilized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the utilitarian potential of woody plant species in a fragment of caatinga vegetation located in the “Agreste” region of Pernambuco State, NE Brazil.

TL;DR: The study revealed the potential of various food plants in the Caatinga, especially in comparison to other wild species of the same genus that have been investigated in other studies, and recommended species such as S. cearensis, S. obtusifolium, and Eugenia sp.

TL;DR: Despite community knowledge about wild species with potential food, few species are actually utilized, and thus, many plants are not included in the diets of the populations studied.
