Fig. 3.6 Flow of wild foods and agricultural produce through the household
budget. The arrow width and numbers on the arrows represent the volume of flow
expressed as a percentage of household production. Household consumption is
shown in brackets. The 16% of household production related to industrial
products (e.g. oil, salt) is not shown.
