A new way of working with Third World countries. New forms of healing and inventories of local plant-based medicines are opening up a huge market for producer countries...

This programme sets out a new way of working with Third World countries and argues for new forms of co-operation which are more respectful of human beings and their heritage, and inventories of local plant-based medicines in southern countries.
New forms of healing are opening up a huge market for producer countries. The programme examines the attitude of the pharmaceuticals industry to this new market.
Modernity and tradition are not incompatible: these different modes of healing need to learn to co-exist. China offers a wealth of examples of complementary healing practices existing side by side.
