Medicinal Farming: Empowering Farmers in India

About the Book:

A pioneering work that presents a groundbreaking 'demonstration model' for promoting commercial medicinal crops cultivation among small-scale and marginal farmers in Western Uttar Pradesh, India. Drawing on the author's personal experience and a National Medicinal Plants Board-funded study, this book outlines a comprehensive approach to bridging the gap between awareness and full-fledged cultivation and marketing. Through documentation of agro-techniques, farmer meets, training sessions in vermicompost preparation, demonstration plots, and medicinal seed villages, this book offers practical insights and strategies for stakeholders. The book also discusses the present-day key challenges, opportunities, and strategies in India's medicinal farming sector. A valuable resource for new startups, Agri-entrepreneurs, government departments, and state medicinal plants boards across India, this work is poised to become a milestone in the evolving medicinal plants sector.
