This paper makes use of energy flow language. It discusses how this energetics approach can be useful in research having to do with the inter­actions between man and the environment Ali life processes have energy as their common denomi­nator. The paper shows how this methodological approach aids in field preparation, organizes research while in the field and helps in the analysis of data. A discussion of manioc as an essential plant for man in the tropics is presented, and the myths surrounding the plant are indicated and recent research finds put in context The potential of manioc as a food of the future is presented and suggestions are made for an energetics approach to the plant in situ. The plant's potential needs to be studied in the context of the real world in which tropical man utilizes it.
