Designed for researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and policymakers, the workshop will provide a comprehensive examination of the importance of sustainable botanical ingredient production.
Speakers will explore the integral connection between sustainable production methods and botanical quality, sharing current research about how sustainable practices directly impact plant yield, potency, and environmental health. Critical research gaps will be identified, future investigative directions prioritized. Emerging research needs and research priorities will be discussed with experts in a round-table format. Additionally, strategic frameworks for educating diverse stakeholders about sustainable production will be created, with input from academics, industry professionals, and policy makers. This program is tailored for academic researchers, botanical industry professionals, and policy/government. By the workshop’s conclusion, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainable botanical production, develop a research community network, establish actionable strategies for promoting sustainable cultivation, and identify key research priorities for future collaboration.
