Subtropical Broad-leaved Hill Forests such as Assam sub-tropical hill savannah woodland in India has a wide range of vegetation and is home to thousands of kinds of herbivores. What if a human has to survive in such a forest with 500 calories of veg per day? What will be the list of edible plants in such a situation? For how long one can survive with no resource in hand?
It depends on the availability of food in the form of vegetables and fruits
Zahid Fazal Sir! Please help me with some precise answers. It is obvious that It depends on the availability of food in the form of vegetables and fruits. Actually my question should be about surviving in a subtropical forest with minimum calories using edible plants if I would be more precise.
I think survival of human depends on availability of edible plants. 500 calories will be sufficient for any person to survive.Edible plants that can be found in the subtopical broad leaf hill forest are Githha, Bhyakur, tarul, chiuri , bamboo shoots ,mushroom, blackberry etc
Today, there are still more than a billion
hungry people in the world, and the resources to
feed these people are becoming less and less. Agricultural production systems need to
focus on effective biodiversity management and ecosystem care in order to preserve biological diversity and a healthy environment while
providing food to the World's population.
This is particularly relevant in the light of global challenges such as food security, climate
change, shifts in population distribution, etc.
changes in consumer food preferences, as well as
potential increases in energy prices. Effective ecosystem management is essential to ensure a
reliable and steadily growing resource base to
ensure sufficient food production
through 2050 and beyond.
Biodiversity and its sustainable use and management are fundamental not only for food
supply, but also for maintaining and improving the efficiency of properly managed
agro-ecosystems, which in turn are essential for
production of high-quality food products.

XIV BLOOMING CORNERS
of farmers ' BIODIVERSITY the need to maintain and develop biodiversity in
agriculture and to provide a range of ecosystem
services to a growing population are constantly increasing.
Farmers make up the world's largest community of
people who manage natural resources. They depend on a wide range of biodiversity-related and
ecosystem services and at the same time provide such
services. Their activities can lead to both the development
and degradation of ecosystems. In this regard, farmers ' knowledge
is very important for understanding the factors that determine
their decisions on all aspects related to agricultural production, sustainable use of
biodiversity, the role of biological processes in integrating sustainable agricultural production, and the development of ecosystem functions.
At the global level, it is important to preserve genetic diversity
both in situ and ex-situ, as well as to manage biodiversity in situ, in order to use the properties of certain species adapted to specific conditions
