Conservation projects have often been criticised for creating global benefits while causing negative impacts on local livelihoods. Ecosystem services approaches have been seen as one way to change this by focussing explicitly on maintaining ecosystems for human well-being of stakeholders at various scales. However, ecosystem services approaches have often ignored trade-offs between groups of people and issues of power and do not automatically lead to better outcomes in terms of human well-being.

Las plantas silvestres alimenticias son un componente esencial de la dieta de la población rural en distintas partes del mundo, teniendo un rol importante en su seguridad alimentaria y diversidad nutricional. Dada la alarmante disminución de los bosques, la colecta de estas especies ocurre cada vez más en ecosistemas antropogénicos, donde las comunidades activamente las manejan para asegurar su disponibilidad y acceso.
