Ninety-two different foods were identified and compiled into data tables. Most of the foods eaten by the Bhil were harvested locally, collected or hunted in the jungle. Meat, poultry and fish are easily accessible and therefore commonly eaten. Fruit is also eaten in abundance especially when there is a scarcity of other foods. Photographs accompany the nutrient tables, along with details of localities, consumption and seasonal harvest.1 digital file (100 p. : ill.)application/pdfenINDIGENOUS POPULATIONLOCAL FOOD SYSTEMSTRADITIONAL FOODFOOD POLICYDIETNUTRIENTSNUTRITIONWILD PLANTSFOOD SECURITYMALNUTRITIONINDIASOUTH ASIAWorking Paper
