Forest-Based Subsistence is a subsistence strategy whereby human communities directly rely on the extraction and utilization of forest resources—such as wild foods, medicinal plants, fuelwood, and construction materials—for their fundamental nutritional, economic, and cultural needs within an ecosystem-specific, non-market-oriented livelihood system.
