A trans-disciplinary agro-ecology strategy to grow medicinal plants.

ABSTRACT: The scope of the emerging field of Ayurvedic-biology visualized thus far is confined to studies on dimensions pertaining to clinical and experimental pharmacology, basic trans-disciplinary science and drug design. However, given the multiple facets of classical Ayurveda knowledge system, its application in the field of organic agriculture perhaps also needs to be urgently explored. The urgency is due to the growing public acceptance of Ayurveda as a preferred clinical choice for well-being and disease management. The turnover of the sector across manufacturing and health services is estimated to be around Rs.1,00,000 crores per annum. Medicinal plants today and in the coming decade will therefore be required in large volumes and given that their applications are solely for enhancing health
