Abstract
Abstract Local native wild plants have sustained humanity for ages. They not only form a part of the food system but has a cultural history which are linked to people’s local identity, pride and tradition. They not only ensure food and livelihood security for common people and a community but also forms a sustainable environmentally management system. The food system of every community aims to remove hunger and ensure therapeutic care. Traditional food amongst the indigenous communities which are rooted to historical continuity is important as they contribute to food and nutrition security. Studies reveal that traditional food are nutrient dense and have medicinal-nutritional significance which can prevent malnutrition and other non-nutritional disorders. With urbanization, globalization and lifestyle transitioning, the traditional knowledge and information on the significance of traditional food are diminishing among the young indigenous generation in Meghalaya. Thus, a cross sectional study was undertaken to document the knowledge of indigenous youth on the medicinal purpose of traditional food. A total of sixty native plants and fruits was documented which form an important part of their food system. In conclusion, there is a need to retain, preserved and document the therapeutic contribution of the indigenous plants and fruits of Meghalaya, which would be resourceful for therapeutic care and instill among policy maker to include them for health and nutritional security.
