    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;ABSTRACT&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wild edible plants are neither cultivated nor domesticated but are accessible from&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;various natural ecosystems and exploited for food. The purpose of this study was to&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;document wild and semi wild edible plants in Kofale Sub-Districts, West Arsi Zone,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Oromia Regional State. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More specifically, cross-sectional study design was used. The purposive sampling&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;techniques wereused to select key informants, and simple random sampling techniques&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;were used to select the general informants. Six kebeles were selected purposively from&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;43 kebeles in the district based on accessibility,proximity and availability of vegetation.A&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;total of 72 (51malesand 21 females) were randomly selected through simple random&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;sampling technique.Ethnobotanical data was collected using a semi-structured&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;interview, field observation, focus group discussions and market survey.Descriptive&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;statistics, informant consensus, preference ranking,direct matrix ranking, fidelity level&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;index and jaccard&amp;rsquo;s coefficient of similarity were used for data analysis. A total 44 Wild&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;and semi-wild edible plants ecies were documented in the study area. These wild edible&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;plants were belonging to 34 general and 27 families. Moraceae was the most popular&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;family which contributed five (11.3%) species followed by Fabaceae which contributed&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;4(9.09%) species.Of these plant species, shrubs account for 18 (40.9%), followed by&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;herbs 15 (34.1%). Regarding the edible parts, fruits account for 33 (75%) followed by&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;leaves 4 (9.09%). Cordia africanaand Opuntia ficus indica are the most preferred wild&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;edible plants in the study area.Cordia africana,Syzygium guineense and Carissa&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;spinarum are species with multiple uses.Agricultural land expansion, fire wood&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;collectionand charcoal production and other factors were the top prioritized threats&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;affecting the abundance and diversity of wild edible plants.Hence, the finding&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;recommends that the community that practice in situ and ex-situ conservation, public&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;awareness raising,which requires participation the government&amp;#39;s on sustainably use&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;these resources to address food insecurityand forest management practices approach&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;would help to protect wild edible plant in study area.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
