Community-based production and management of organic and certified medicinal, aromatic and other NTFP plants for enhanced biodiversity conservation and improved livelihoods in South Asia
2008
The project supported pilot projects through action research, building local capacities and capabilities. It shared information through networking to develop locally suitable practices including certified organic and quality production, and locally adaptable practices in sustainably managing medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) resources, helping support policy makers as well. Rural poor and marginalised groups in this region depend on medicinal and aromatic plants for primary health care. Adaptive management approaches enhanced capacities of local communities through community-based institutions like district-level Federation of Community Forestry Users, Nepal (FECOFUN), Forest Protection Committees (FPC), Self Help Groups (SHGs) and local NGOs.
