Bridges Between Tradition and Innovation in Ethnomedicine - Fostering Local Development Through Community-Based Enterprises in India (Paperback, 2011 ed.)

Community-based enterprises are the result of a process in which the community acts entrepreneurially to create and operate a new enterprise embedded in its existing social structure and network. This book argues that community-based enterprise could represent a strategy for fostering sustainable local development while at the same time maintaining traditional knowledge in ethnomedicine and conserving the local ecosystems.
