“…The total number of 106 WFPs (85 species) documented represents a relatively high diversity. A recent study in a Mandailing community in North Sumatra showed that 106 food plant species are being used, including wild and cultivated ones [57]. Further in North Sumatra, Batak Toba people from Peadungdung village were found to use 44 species [58].…”

Wild food plants (WFPs) are often highly nutritious but under-consumed at the same time. This study aimed to document the diversity of WFPs, and assess perceptions, attitudes, and drivers of change in their consumption among Minangkabau and Mandailing women farmers in West Sumatra. We applied a mixed-method approach consisting of interviews with 200 women and focus group discussions with 68 participants. The study documented 106 WFPs (85 species), and Minangkabau were found to steward richer traditional knowledge than Mandailing. Although both communities perceived WFPs positively, consumption has declined over the last generation. The main reasons perceived by respondents were due to the decreased availability of WFPs and changes in lifestyle. The contemporary barriers to consuming WFPs were low availability, time constraints, and a limited knowledge of their nutritional value. The key motivations for their use were that they are free and “unpolluted” natural foods. The main drivers of change were socio-economic factors and changes in agriculture and markets. However, the persistence of a strong culture appears to slow dietary changes. The communities, government and NGOs should work together to optimize the use of this food biodiversity in a sustainable way. This integrated approach could improve nutrition while conserving biological and cultural diversity.

“…The Solanaceae family with six species of medicinal plants can cure diseases, namely: Physalisangulata / Ciplukan / Kecinoak (treat diabetes and itching of the skin) Solanumlycopercium/ Tomato (treat acne), Solanum melongena / Eggplant / Telung (Treat itching and treat itching boils) Capsicum frutescens / Cayenne Pepper / Chilimbun (treat dog bites and mild venomous animals). In the Mandailing ethnic of the Solanaceae family, the species Inggir-Inggir / turkey berry leaves (Solanumtorvum) is used for eye medications, poisoning and insect venom [32]. A previous study reported that extract of Inggir-Inggir leaves could inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus [33].…”

“…From the 101 medicinal plant species belonging to 50 families found to be medicinal, it is known that almost all of the organs of the plant are used, starting from roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, gums. Leaf organs have the most widely used organs, (56 plant species) as well as those found in other regions such as the Mandailing ethnic group [32], the reason leaves are widely used because they are easy to process and have many chemical compounds [37]. For some medicinal plant species, the entire plant organs are used, for example, the species Amaranthusspinosus / spinach thorn, Celosia argentae / arum milek, Celosia cristata.…”

The Rejang ethnic is one of the largest ethnics in Bengkulu Province, generally domiciled in Rejang Lebong Regency, Lebong. One of the local wisdoms of this tribal community until now is to practice traditional medicine as a cultural heritage, but most of it is passed on to the next generation by oral tradition, thus allowing this knowledge to be reduced from generation to generation and not well documented. For this reason, exploration and documentation of medicinal plants are needed so that the traditional healing culture is not lost. Documentation in writing is indispensable for the development of traditional medicine in the future and to be integrated in learning as a source of teaching materials based on local wisdom to bring back cultural values for future generations. This research aims to study the diversity of plants used in traditional disease treatment by The Rejang ethnic, their conservation, and identification of the dominant family taxon groups were selected as learning sources. The research was conducted in Pasar Tengah Sub-District, Teladan, Air Pikat Village, Rejang Lebong Regency, using observation, and interview methods on Bahtera and selected informants by purposive sampling. The results of the study found 101 species, 50 families of medicinal plants that can treat 90 kinds of diseases traditionally such as malaria, cancer, stomachache, skin diseases, diarrhea, fever and others. Medicinal plants are generally planted in the yard. The dominant taxon families with the number of species (sp) are: Zingiberaceae (8sp), Euphorbiaceae (7sp), Fabaceae (6sp), Achantaceae (6sp) Solanaceae (5sp), Lamiaceae (5), Asteraceae (4sp) that can be used as a learning resource to understand the characteristics of selected family groups.

“…Bagian tumbuhan yang paling banyak digunakan oleh Suku Lampung di Kabupaten Lampung Barat dalam pengobatan adalah daun dengan persentase sebesar 43,55% (27 spesies) (Gambar 2). Daun juga merupakan bagian tumbuhan obat yang paling banyak digunakan oleh Suku Mandailing di Taman Nasional Batang Gadis, Sumatera Utara (Nasution et al, 2018), komunitas Dayak Desa di Sintang, Kalimantan Barat (Supiandi et al, 2019), dan Etnis Lokal di Lampung Timur (Evizal et al, 2013). Daun merupakan bagian tumbuhan yang paling mudah didapat, mudah diproses, memiliki efek penyembuhan, dan penggunaannya tidak merusak bagian tanaman (Setyowati, 2010).…”
