From home garden to market: ethnobotanical insights from Jīn Sān Jiǎo Agricultural Market, Baise City, Guangxi, China
This study provides the first ethnobotanical account of the Jīn Sān Jiǎo Agricultural Market, contributing new insights into plant diversity, traditional knowledge, and cultural practices in Southwestern China. The market functions as a critical node for conserving plant biodiversity, supporting food and livelihood security, and maintaining ethnobotanical knowledge in an urbanizing region. Further research should explore seasonal dynamics, ethnographic perspectives, and phytochemical properties to better understand the food-medicine continuum in this context.
