Sustainable Harvest
The Importance of Sustainability
To both use and protect our medicinal plants, it is important to study harvest sustainability, especially for those species sold commercially and that have a high demand. We believe that wild plant resources can be harvested sustainably and that, in some cases, this is preferable to cultivation of these resources.
