Traditional Knowledge and Management of Feijoa (Acca sellowiana) in Southern Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate traditional knowledge of the use and management of Acca sellowiana in southern Brazil and suggest that participatory research could stimulate greater local use as well as on-farm conservation of the species.

Abstract: Traditional Knowledge and Management of Feijoa (Acca sellowiana) in Southern Brazil. This paper investigates traditional knowledge of the use and management of Acca sellowiana in southern Brazil. Fifty-six informants from three rural communities were assigned to one of four subgroups (“maintainers,” “managers,” “cultivators,” or “users”) based on their responses regarding management and use of A. sellowiana. Traditional knowledge related to use of this species is widespread among rural residents, but traditional knowledge related to management is fragmented depending on whether one uses, manages, or cultivates the species. Knowledge held in rural communities suggests that A. sellowiana could play an expanded role in local economies as well as biodiversity conservation. We suggest that participatory research could stimulate greater local use as well as on-farm conservation of A. sellowiana.

TL;DR: The early archaeobotanical record includes numerous perennial and annual species, many of which later became domesticated as mentioned in this paper, and some of this evidence identifies dispersal with probable cultivation, suggesting incipient domestication by 10,000 years ago.
