Ethnobotany is often thought of as the study of how humans (particularly Indigenous or pre-industrial humans) have used plants. r/ethnobotany is a place to discuss information relating to the broader topic of plant use by humans, with a focus on sustainable uses. These uses include food, medicine, drugs, habitat, ecopsychology, and many others. Join us to learn more about how you can use plants more in your life!

Humans have been dependent on plants since long before we were even a species. The very atmosphere we breath is the product of billions of years of photosynthesis. There are a multitude of sustainable ways for us to use plants, many of which are often overlooked. This subreddit is a place to post and discuss topics related to human usage of plants, especially sustainable uses.

Ethnobotany and Linguistics

Hello!

I'm hoping that some of you could recommend good resources about ethnobotany with a focus on linguistics. Seems to me that it is an important aspect in the field, but I haven't been able to find books or experts within this subject to look into.

Thanks!

Anyone familiar with this plant and if it has any physiological benefit? I am located in the mid-Arctic, Yellowknife, to be specific.

Ethnobotany possible as a profession, but not in academia?

I am soon to graduate in general Biology (with ecology focus) and Ethnobotany really caught my attention and fascination as a possible Master's subject. Did anyone of you went this path but ultimately didn't end up in a purely academic career, that can be quite unforgiving at times?

(Being relatively new to Reddit, I've noticed in many science-related subreddits that questions about job prospects are a very common phenomenon, so apologies to everyone seeing this question for the hundredth time.)
