| Abstract: | Thailand has a large number of rice landrace varieties which are still grown by native tribes and small farmers in distant areas of the country. In these remote areas agricultural practices are primarily for food sufficiency and the farmer’s livelihood. Different native rice varieties are used for different purposes. Traditional utilization of rice landraces in Northeastern Thailand include: food, medicine, rituals, wine and native whisky; agriculture and animal feed; economic purposes and exchange. This paper presents the traditional knowledge of utilization of rice landraces of farmers in four selected locations of Northeastern Thailand (Sakon Nakhon, Roi Et, Ubon Ratchathani and Nakon Rachasima Provinces). |
