Join anthropologist Ann Armbrecht while she speaks about her work following medicinal plants to the source, documenting the stories of the people and places behind finished herbal products. She will talk about why it is important to know where the herbs you use come from, outline responsible sourcing practices both for wild crafted and cultivated herbs, and share ideas about how we can all make a difference in encouraging the botanical industry to be a better steward of the human and ecological communities where medicinal plants are sourced.
