XVII IBC 2005 – Side Event

 

From Source to Shelf:

Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM)
of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

 

21-22 July 2005

 

 

Abstract

The increasing demand in medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) results in a trade worth US $ 60 billion globally. Out of an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 MAP used world-wide, 4,000 are threatened; mainly due to habitat loss and unsustainable harvesting levels and practices. Although cultivation of MAP is playing an increasing role in the supply, the majority of MAP species will continue to come from wild collection in the foreseeable future. The management practices need reform along all stages of the supply chain. To ensure sustainable use of MAP to the benefit of nature and people requires standards, an integrated approach, and partnerships, ranging from botanical expertise to business planning. This session will highlight the challenges and potential solutions along key stages of the supply chain from source to shelf.

 

Organisation

On Thursday and Friday, 21-22 July 2005, a 2-days-side-event within the frame of the IBC Congress 2005 will take place at the Veterinary University Vienna. The organizers regard this side symposium as a separate event, where the topics relating to all steps of the supply chain management will be addressed more in detail including sufficient time for discussions. Therefore, some of the main presentations of the half-day-symposium of IBC Congress will be repeated. The half-day symposium within the IBC Congress, scheduled for Wednesday, 20 July 2005 (08.45-11.45) will hopefully raise awareness to the topic of sustainable use of MAP species through wild collection and the development of an “International Standard for Sustainable Wild Collection of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants” to a broader auditorium and will attract participants of the IBC-Congress to join the side event.
