Abstract
This article presents a research at a regional level, which includes two municipalities in the South of Bahia/Brazil, in an agroforestry system known as “cabruca”. A survey of the main Unconventional Food Plants (PANC) used by the peasant community was carried out. Data were obtained using a quali-quantitative approach, taking into account the quantity and variety of unconventional plants that participants indicated they knew and used, and which had potential for food use. The main species indicated by the community, with food potential, were duly identified. Gastronomic workshops were also held, seeking to encourage the use of Non-Conventional Food Plants (PANC-portuguese) and strengthen the sovereignty and food security of peasant families. The main objective was to investigate the factor(s) that lead some people to not use certain plants in their diet, even though they may be suffering from food deprivation and having with the knowledge the feed potential of these plants.
