Ensaio etnográfico sobre plantas alimentícias não convencionais na Comunidade Quilombola de Pedra Branca do Riacho do Ouro, município de Taperoá, no Território do Baixo Sul da Bahia

Abstract

This monograph is based on an ethnographic essay that addresses a question of non-conventional foods Plants (PANCs) in the Quilombo community of Pedra Branca do Riacho de Ouro, in the municipality of Taperoá, in the Southern Bahia Lowlands. Through the use of some species, such as Taioba, Bredo, Chá de Burro, the search presents some food plants that are used in the community and that can be used as diet of families. These plants marked alternatives to a diet that was fostered by interests of the food industry. I have as reference point the most widely available foods and represent a variety of different cultures that use a much larger amount of food. I am looking at factors that imply food safety beyond nutrient care and food production. I am also trying to present a question of saber dialogue to strengthen a food campaign of rural communities. In order to reduce conditions related to shame and economic precariousness that affect the use of PANCs.
