Plant extractivism in light of game theory: a case study in northeastern Brazil

Conclusions: The "game of extractivism" of pequis and fava d'anta operates under conditions similar to the "tragedy of the commons." In this game, the non-cooperative solution is converted to the Nash equilibrium. The approach used in this study contributed to the identification of strategies and solutions to problems arising from the extractivism of pequi and fava d'anta.
