Ethnological botany and paleobotany are interdisciplinary fields and therefore use several contribution research areas such as botany, cultural anthropology, archeology, and preservation. We will receive training on how to collect plant and social data in ethnobotanical research centered on collection / analysis of archeological data. Understanding ethnical botany / ancient botany's methods will allow students to rate key work during the last week of the course

Ethnological botanical studies are interdisciplinary, although some ethnic botanists are anthropologists, many from botanists or other fields. Anthropologists investigating ethnical botany must have practical knowledge to gather scientific methods of plant specimens and plant taxonomy systems as well as basic ecology. Similarly, archaeologists and paleontologists are studying the relationship between prehistoric humans and the use of plants, especially the relationships in domestication of plants and animals.

Application is very important and the science of ethnobotany is dedicated to explaining the relationship between culture and plant use. Therefore, many major companies specializing in nutritional supplements (such as dietary supplements, functional foods or beverages) have entered employees of diverse ethnic groups, which control the complex environment of bioproseptic and development can. The concept of sustainable development is another development that made the food industry very popular. Sustainability has a broad impact on the food industry from livelihood improvement to environmental protection.
