BioTrade: harnessing the potential for transitioning to a green economy – the case of medicinal and aromatic plants in Nepal [1]

The growing global demand for medicinal and aromatic plants could help drive Nepal's green economy, while improving livelihoods in its poorest communities, according to a new study released by the UNEP in collaboration with the Government of Nepal. The report, BioTrade: Harnessing the potential for transitioning to a green economy - The Case of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Nepal, analyzes the country's BioTrade sector and, specifically, its trade in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs), which are often grown in the country's poorest regions.
