Food as a biocultural phenomenon expresses traditional wisdom as a set of knowledge, practices, uses, technologies, and strategies related to the natural resource environment. The peoples of the Caatinga, using traditional knowledge accumulated over generations and transmitted orally, live with water scarcity and work in the face of the region's climatic adversities. The Pankararé, as a Brazilian indigenous ethnic group, represent a small part of the traditional peoples who live in the semi-arid northeast. This book presents the results of bibliographic and documentary research, which allows for a deeper understanding of this people, their culture, their ecological relationships with the environment, and their social relationships. To this end, Chapter 1 provides a general description of the area studied and the social actors involved in the research, as well as a documentary bibliographic review using the scientometric method of works already developed with the Pankararé ethnic group, while Chapter 2 presents data on dietary changes within the Pankararé culture.

Forest Monitoring, 12
<p>The demand for comparable, long-term, high quality data on forest ecosystems' status and changes is increasing at the international and global level. Yet, sources for such data are limited and in many case it is not possible to compare data from different monitoring initiatives across space and time because of methodological differences. Apart from technical manuals, there is no comprehensive multidisciplinary, scientific, peer-reviewed reference for forest monitoring methods that can serve and support the user community. This book provides in a single reference the state-of-the-art of monitoring methods as applied at the international level. </p> <p>The book present scientific concepts and methods that form the basis of the transnational, long-term forest monitoring in Europe and looks at other initiatives at the global level. Standardized methods that have been developed over two decades in international forest monitoring projects are presented. Emphasis is put on trans-nationally harmonized methods, related data quality issues, current achievements and on remaining open questions.</p><br>
