Medicinal gardens is one of the projects that successfully embodies health, education, permaculture and gender issues at AFOPADI. During my March visit, I was delighted to attend an indigenous woman's fair in which AFOPADI participated. Here are some women selling their medicinal herbs.
I found the product presentation quite elegant. In the close-up below, you can see how the method of preparation & use is described visually since many people are illiterate. The conditions the plant helps are written out.
Some older women have extensive plant knowledge, but without an effort, that may disappear.
