Wild edible plants (WEPs) are important in ethnobiological research in India. Maharashtra has been chosen as a case study to understand the state of knowledge about WEPs and their use for sustainable development. A total of 436 edible plants have been listed so far, but documentation of management practices is less and needs systematic research in the future. We suggest future action research themes and a decision-support framework for using WEPs in Maharashtra.
