dc.description.abstractAs population increases, so does the demand for food, putting pressure on natural resources, including edible plant species. This study assessed the socio-demographic profile of respondents and explored the status, market, extraction methods, and consumption of edible flora in the Lower Amburayan Watershed. Using a descriptive survey design, it was found that most respondents were female, married, aged 31–59, high school graduates, and worked in agriculture, forestry, or fisheries. A total of 42 edible plant species were identified, including fruits, leaves, shoots, root crops, stems, flowers, and seeds. Most respondents were unaware of existing extraction policies and regulations. Edible floras were mainly threatened by pests, diseases, fungi, and natural disasters. The most commonly suggested solutions to address the problems affecting the edible floras included adopting sustainable harvesting practices, promoting community engagement and education, and enforcing regulations to protect these edible floras.
