Government explores forests as source for medicinal plants

In the Vietnamese commune of Con Cuong, local authorities are examining a new cultivation model. This involves growing medicinal plants under the leaf canopy of existing forests. According to the source, it is being investigated whether this approach is feasible and sustainable.

The idea is to use the natural shade and soil of the forest for the growth of medicinal crops. Details about which plants or how large-scale the project would be are still missing. The provincial leadership has so far only put the plan under investigation.

Whether the model will actually be introduced depends on the results of the research. It fits into a broader trend in which governments are looking for ways to combine natural resources with economic activities.
