: With every individual participant, we clarified the purpose of the research, including how their contributions would be used and shared. No individual participants can be identified. All interviewees gave their prior informed consent to participation and were informed that they could withdraw at any point. Preliminary results were shared with the trading community through the Project Advisory Committee meetings of the Transiting to Green Growth project. Research adhered to the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, the University of Copenhagen Rules on Good Scientific Practice, and the ethical standards of the International Society for Ethnobiology. All necessary research permits were obtained. By focusing on trade, this study gave voice to actors in an invisible sector. Samples/vouchers were collected with the informed consent of traders. The image of harvesters has been blurred in Fig.InternalRef removedto make them unidentifiable.
