Traveling Cultures and Plants: The Ethnobiology and Ethnopharmacy of Human MigrationsAndrea Pieroni, Ina Vandebroek The tremendous increase in migrations and diasporas of human groups in the last decades are not only bringing along challenging issues for society, especially related to the economic and political management of multiculturalism and culturally effective health care, but they are also creating dramatic changes in traditional knowledge, believes and practices (KBP) related to (medicinal) plant use.
