Dr. Rainer Bussman, William L. Brown Curator of Economic Botany, William L. Brown Center for Plant Genetic Resources
Plants provide humankind with our most basic resources - food, medicines, fiber, and a whole array of other useful products. Plants provide the molecular basis of many pharmaceuticals, as direct compounds or molecular blueprints. Modern science begins to confirm that the distinction between nutrition and medicine is blurred. More than eighty percent of the world population still depends on plant medicines as their primary health care.
