机译：Medicinal plants, aromatic herbs and fragrance plants in France: a small but thriving sector with a strong traditional base and a dynamic research network
In France, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) or herbal, medicinal and aromatic plants (HMAP) industries1 traditionally refer to culinary herbs, medicinal plants, and plants cultivated for the fragrance and perfume industries. This agricultural sector encompasses several hundred plant species, as compared with field crops, such as cereals, which may include single species grains. The organic production for these crops is significantly larger than traditional crops of global French agriculture. Wildharvest of HMAP continues and is key for a successful economy in rural areas. These relatively small production areas are undergoing fast-paced growth. This production is very diverse and dynamic, leaning on strong traditional skills and benefiting from new techniques and high value processing. With a growing demand for natural products and unfolding opportunities for new markets, HMAP isfacing exciting prospects.
