Abstract

Forest is said, an intricate ecosystem of our planet that includes herbs, shrubs, grasses, trees and many more. These plants and various tree species are dominant in forests and have several potential benefits. For instance, overall forests provide all our basic needs like food, fodder, fuel and other variety of products. Food is essential for all humans and other biological organisms as it provides energy and nutrition. Obtaining food from the wild has been closely entwined with mankind for millions of years ago. Forests are principal fodder resources available in the form of livestock for an immensely large cattle population in a country like Brazil, India, China and so on. Additionally, the domestic household sector is the most prominent energy consumer that depends on biofuels, and the rural community quite often depends on the forest. Thus overall, forests and their products play a prime role in the socio-economic development of a country with that it also offers shelter to many livestock populations and livelihood for numerous people. Some of the commonly used food, fodder and fuelwood species are Aegle marmelos, Albizia lebbeck, Azadirachta indica, Bauhinia purpurea, Bauhinia retusa, Bauhinia variegate, Celtis australis, Dalbergia sissoo, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus nemoralis, Ficus roxburghii, Grewia optiva, Leucaena leucocephala, Melia azedarach, Moringa olifera, Morus alba, Ougeinia oojeinensis, Prosopis cineraria, Quercus leucotrichophora, Terminalia alata, Toona ciliate and Zizphyus mauritiana. This chapter specifies some of the wild varieties of edible food, fodder resources and fuelwood species illustrating its description, distribution, nutritional values as well as medicinal importance.
