Abstract

Unconventional food plants (PANC) are not organized in productive chains, but that contribute
significantly to food and nutrition in traditional communities. The objective of this study was to
systematize the information from the PANC rescue carried out by students of the 3rd year of
the Technical Course in Agroecology of CETEP - Sisal, participants of an extension course
in agroecological horticulture. For the survey of the species a semi-structured interview was
applied by the students to relatives, neighbors, members of their communities. The interviewees
cited 34 species, especially bredo, língua de vaca, beldroega and maxixe. The results
reinforce the importance of the exchange of knowledge in the construction of agroecological
knowledge and that the re-signification of the species associated to the daily life of the rural
communities can contribute greatly to teaching, research and extension.
