Agriculture is one of India’s primary occupations. As per the 2011 census, about 54.6% of India’s population is engaged in agriculture and allied activities. As of 2014, the contribution of agriculture to the country’s GDP stands at 17.9%. Yet agriculture alone has been unable to be a viable source of livelihood for one third of the farming households in the country. This is especially high amongst subsistence farmers with small or no land holdings. There is hence a need to look at supplementary employment opportunities to improve livelihoods for the rural population. Wild foods are those that are naturally occurring in the environment. Wild edible plants like fruits, flowers, leaves, tubers, and roots are high in nutritional content, some of them even possessing medicinal properties. Over the years, wild foods have been used by indigenous tribes to meet their dietary and nutritional needs. These foods are not only consumed for their nutritional content but also due to food shortages, as they are abundant and freely available. Some of these wild vegetables are also sold by farmers in nearby towns and villages, providing them with a temporary source of income.
