Tóm tắt:This book aims toraise awareness of the role of wild plants in many farming systems, providing examples from different systems around the world. It describes the contribution of wild plants as a source of food, fuel wood, shelter, medicine and dyes and their role in income generation for the improved welfare of farm households and local people.
