“…In addition to the wild species (177), we considered of interest also cultivated (30) and purchased (5) plants. As previously reported (Cornara et al, 2014;Di Novella et al, 2013;Hayta et al, 2013;Mattalia et al, 2013;Menendez-Baceta et al, 2014;Tuttolomondo et al, 2014;Vitalini et al, 2009Vitalini et al, , 2013, the most common families was Asteraceae, with 23 species, followed by Rosaceae (16), Lamiaceae (14), Fabaceae (10) and Apiaceae (7). Concerning mushrooms, the dominant families were Russulaceae (6) and Boletaceae (4).…”

“…We compared the data gathered during the field study with the following sources: the entire Italian ethnobotanical database (last updated in 2004) [36], the south-Italian ethnobotanical surveys that have been published in international journals and have (also) considered wild plants traditionally used in local cuisines [21][22][23][24][25][26][37][38][39][40][41], national ethnobotanical literature sources and popular references in which sound ethnobotanical observations were reported [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], as well as wild food plant-centered ethnobotanical studies conducted in Southern Europe and published in international journals [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][27][28][29][30].…”

Despite the extensive bio-scientific literature concerning the Mediterranean diet, which emerged in the last three decades, systematic ethnography-centered investigations on a crucial portion of this food system, linked to the traditional consumption of non-cultivated vegetables, are still largely lacking in many areas of the Mediterranean Basin.In this research, an ethnobotanical field study focusing on wild vegetables traditionally gathered and consumed locally, was conducted in a few centers and villages located in the Gargano area, northern Apulia, SE Italy, by interviewing twentyfive elderly informants. The folk culinary uses of seventy-nine botanical taxa of wild vascular plants, belonging to nineteen families, were recorded, thus showing a remarkable resilience of traditional environmental knowledge (TEK) related to wild food plants. In particular, approximately one-fourth of the recorded wild vegetables are still very commonly gathered and consumed nowadays, while ten taxa have never been reported in previous ethnobotanical studies conducted in Southern Italy. These findings demonstrate the crucial cultural role played by folk cuisines in preserving TEK, despite significant socio-economic changes that have affected the study area during the past four decades.

Treatment of Organic Livestock with Medicinal Plants: A Systematic Review of European Ethnoveterinary Research

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: The EC Regulation for Organic Farming states that organic livestock should be treated preferably with phytotherapeutic products. In spite of the high importance of organic livestock in Europe, primarily ruminants, today almost no phytotherapeutic product is registered for livestock. Also, information regarding veterinary phytotherapy is rare. The aim of this paper is to find approaches to cope with health problems of organic ruminants in Europe on the basis of findings from the European ethnoveterinary medicine (EuEVM). Methods: A systematic review of ethno-biomedicinal papers was conducted with the aid of the Scopus database, and 75 papers, from European countries were analyzed regarding ethnoveterinary information. Results: A total of 590 plant species referring to 102 different plant families are reported to be used for animal treatment, with Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Lamiaceae being the most important families. The traditional use of some plant species (e.g. mallow, chamomile, wormwood) corresponds with findings from recent scientific literature. The large number of less studied plant species, such as white lupin as an antiparasitic herb, and Helleborus spp. as potential immunostimulatory agent, opens an interesting field for future research. Conclusions: In general, EuEVM provides interesting treatment approaches for gastrointestinal and dermatological disorders as well as parasitosis. Findings regarding disorders of female genital or respiratory tract are less consistent. Nevertheless, EuEVM offers a solid basis for stimulating research in veterinary phytotherapy in Europe with a perspective to solve animal health problems in organic or even nonorganic ruminant production.
