Plants, people and nature is a book about benefit sharing between private enterprise and the community. It provides practical examples from around the globe of how private companies involved in the production, processing and marketing of natural products interact with national and regional governments, local industry and, above all, village communities. This publication grew out of a workshop on benefit sharing held in Cape Town during the 4th World Congress of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (WOCMAP) in November 2009. It includes 22 case studies of benefit sharing in practice.
