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