Resumen:
Background and aims: Urban horticultural fairs are important places for the foodsovereignty (FS) of a city. The richness of ethnospecies and commercialized local foodsreflect its dynamism. The utilitarian versatility (UV) represented by the different culinarypreparations constitutes an important aspect of the FS. The richness of ethnospecies,local foods and plant parts traded at the Bariloche Farmers’ Fair was surveyed andcharacterized. The predictions propose that the greatest richness of ethnospecies areof exotic origin, and that the greater the UV (in local foods), the greater the culturalimportance of the ethnospecies.M&M: A checklist-type ethnobotanical monitoring of all ethnospecies and local foodstraded in the 2019 season was carried out. It was complemented with a photographicrecord and free listings. The UV of each crop was estimated, and the relationshipbetween the use consensus (UC) and the UV of the ethnospecies offered by GLMwas analyzed.Results: A total of 186 ethnospecies and 315 local foods were recorded. The mostagreed ethnospecies were Petroselinum crispum (65%), Beta vulgaris var. cicla (55%),Rubus idaeus (50%) and the exotic fungus Suillus spp. We found that the ethnospecieswith higher UC have higher UV.Conclusions: The alternatives for food use offered by ethnospecies is a key elementfor farmers as sales reinsurance, but mainly as an element that gives visibility to localplants through homemade preparations. Local foods are biocultural legacies thatreflect traditions, but also innovations.
