Scientific overview on the use of plant species in handicrafts in Brazil

Resumen

Handicrafts made with plant resources are part of popular culture worldwide, representing an opportunity for income and subsistence generation. The objective was to map scientific publications on the use of botanical species in Brazilian handicrafts, tracing the panorama on the thematic area in the period from 2011 to 2022. A bibliometric review was adopted, whose data were obtained from the CAPES Journal Portal, Web of Science and Scopus. They were registered with the terms “Handicraft” AND “Plants”; “Handicraft” AND “Plants” AND “Ethnobotany”; “Handicraft” AND “Plants” AND “Ethnobotany” AND “Brazil” 42 scientific publications that, after the inclusion/exclusion criteria, resulted in 18 scientific papers. In the period 2011-2022, there was little variation in the number of publications per year. The journals Economic Botany (33.33%) and Acta Botanica Brasilica (16.66%) had the highest number of publications. Eighty-seven species distributed in 26 families were recorded, of which Fabaceae (25.28%), Cyperaceae (14.95%) and Arecaceae (12.64%) were the most representative. The main target audiences were traditional artisans (50%), indigenous people (33.32%) and handicraft associations (5.56%). The Brazilian regions with significant contribution were the North (44.44%) and Northeast (27.78%). The common focus of the studies was the socioeconomic importance of handicrafts as an activity that maintains traditions and generates employment and income. It is concluded that the Brazilian flora has a strong potential for artisanal use, enabling the diversification of artifacts, while reducing pressures on restricted groups of plants. The need for studies involving the conservation and strengthening of this activity from a sustainable perspective is reaffirmed.
