| description | Although the African continent is considered as the most diverse region in the world in terms of wild and cultivated foods, especially Sub-Saharan Africa remains the world’s most food in-secure region. Regarding the requirements for healthy and nutritious diets, the potentials of many edible plant species remain unexploited. To better understand the influences of the personal food environment on consumption of neglected and underutilised species in the department of Atacora in northern Benin, this study investigated the changes in consumption of 16 plant parts (leaves, fruit pulps and seeds) of 11 species and their underlying drivers, as well as current barriers and enhancing factors for consumption. For this purpose, rural people and employees working in the fields of agriculture, health and nutrition were interviewed in 42 semi-structured interviews with local and professional experts and 12 focus group discussions in three communes of the Atacora department. |
