摘要

背景:传统的非木材林产品(NTFP)收获为当地社区提供了一种经济选择,在不显著改变当前土地利用的情况下提供收入,同时加强了根深蒂固的当地知识。分析NTFP价值链有助于理解这些产品的参与者、关系、阶段和可持续性。本研究聚焦于piassava palm (Attalea funifera Martius),考察其价值链结构、社会和经济指标以及可持续性挑战。方法:以巴西巴伊亚州Pratigi和tinhar - boipeba环境保护区内的社区为研究对象。我们调查了五个参与木薯收获的当地社区,使用半结构化访谈和参与者观察来收集行动者角色、社会经济方面和可持续性问题(如经济脆弱性、社会挑战和环境威胁)的数据。采用混合方法——结合半结构化访谈、参与者观察和定量描述性分析——我们调查了木薯价值链中关键参与者的角色、关系和威胁。使用内容分析和基本统计方法对调查结果进行分析,以了解可持续性的社会、环境和经济维度。结果:我们观察了木薯价值链中的不同阶段、角色和最终产品,确定了三种主要原材料:纤维、叶子和果实。本文指出了四个主要阶段:收获、运输、纤维分离和产品销售,并分析了生态旅游作为价值链中一个潜在的阶段。木薯价值链的结构根据所涉及的材料和产品而有所不同,主要参与者是收获工人、隔断工人、屋顶工匠和手工业工匠。受访者确定了木薯价值链面临的20种威胁,分为经济、社会和环境问题,其中最常见的分别是收获工人短缺、年轻人缺乏兴趣和森林砍伐。结论:我们的研究结果提出了协调社会、经济和生态方面的政策建议。这些措施包括促进以社区为基础的旅游业,使其成为补充性收入来源。承认和传播番石榴价值链成果作为社会生物多样性产品,例如,加强法律和商业框架以认证番石榴产品,或鼓励对当地加工基础设施进行投资,以提高附加值和市场准入。最后,本文分析的结果强调了在讨论中纳入当地观点的重要性,并强调了进一步研究以评估可持续社区森林管理战略的必要性。

What affects the sustainability of a non-timber forest product value chain? A case study of an endemic palm harvested by local communities in Brazil.

Background: Traditional harvest of non-timber forest products (NTFP) offers an economic alternative to local communities by providing income without significantly altering current land use while reinforcing deeply rooted local knowledge. Analyzing NTFP value chains helps understand the actors, relationships, stages, and sustainability of these products. This study focuses on the piassava palm (Attalea funifera Martius), examining its value chain structure, social and economic indicators, and sustainability challenges.

Methods: Our study focused on communities in the Environmental Protection Areas of Pratigi and Tinharé-Boipeba in Bahia, Brazil. We examined five local communities involved in piassava harvesting, using semi-structured interviews and participant observation to gather data on actor roles, socioeconomic aspects, and sustainability issues, like economic vulnerabilities, social challenges, and environmental threats. Using a mixed-methods approach-combining semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and quantitative descriptive analysis-we investigated the roles of key actors, relationships, and threats within the piassava value chain. Findings were analyzed using content analysis and basic statistical measures to understand the social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability.

Results: We observed diverse stages, actor roles, and final products in the piassava value chain, identifying three primary raw materials: fibers, leaves, and fruits. Four main stages were noted: harvest, transportation, fiber separation, and product sales, with ecotourism emerging as a potential stage in the value chain analyzed here. The piassava value chain's structure varies based on the materials and products involved, with key actors being harvest workers, partitioners, roofing artisans, and handicraft artisans. Respondents identified 20 threats to the piassava value chain, categorized into economic, social, and environmental issues, with the most cited being the scarcity of harvest workers, lack of interest among young people, and deforestation, respectively.

Conclusions: Our results suggest policy recommendations for reconciling social, economic, and ecological aspects. These include promoting community-based tourism as a complementary income source. Recognizing and disseminating piassava value chain outcomes as sociobiodiversity products, for example, strengthening legal and commercial frameworks to certify piassava products, or encouraging investment in local processing infrastructure to enhance value addition and market access. Finally, the results analyzed here underscore the importance of including local perspectives in discussions and highlight the need for further research to evaluate strategies for sustainable community forest management.

期刊介绍: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine publishes original research focusing on cultural perceptions of nature and of human and animal health. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine invites research articles, reviews and commentaries concerning the investigations of the inextricable links between human societies and nature, food, and health. Specifically, the journal covers the following topics: ethnobotany, ethnomycology, ethnozoology, ethnoecology (including ethnopedology), ethnogastronomy, ethnomedicine, ethnoveterinary, as well as all related areas in environmental, nutritional, and medical anthropology. Research focusing on the implications that the inclusion of humanistic, cultural, and social dimensions have in understanding the biological word is also welcome, as well as its potential projections in public health-centred, nutritional, and environmental policies.
