【 摘 要 】

Several species of local plants in Lombok are formerly often used by the community as an alternative food. Community awareness of the food usually comes from life experience, knowledge from generation to generation, and local wisdom. These things need attention for the sake of sustainability. The ethnobotany study is necessary. The aim of this study was to make an inventory of non-rice local food diversity of East Lombok district West Nusa Tenggara. This research was executed through open interview and direct observation in the field. This study is one of the local food conservation efforts for strengthening national food security. The results of ethnobotany studies recorded 15 species of non-rice local foods contain carbohydrate. The most widely used plant part is the tubers/rhizomes. Until now, the species of non-rice food plants, remain cultivated but without handling such as rice (Oryza sativa) and maize (Zea mays).
