World Trade and Economies: The Paradigm Shift
“Resource – based economies’ to ‘Knowledge –based economies’
21st Century will be the Century of Knowledge”……
“A nation’s ability to convert knowledge in to wealth and social good through the process of innovation will determine its future” ( R A Mashelkar, 2001)
Era of Knowledge engineering, Knowledge societies and Knowledge industries
21st Century
21st century is the century of Biology powered and propelled by scientific knowledge and technological expertise.
Four technologies namely Biotechnology Herbal technology Information technology (Bioinformatics) Nano Technology
are going to be the most powerful elements that are crucial for prosperity and welfare for the people of nations.
Bioresource Based Development
Rich bioresources & equally rich cultural diversity that hold a vast Traditional Knowledge (TK) base
Conversion of Bioresources and TK with the modern S&T intervention can develop IPR-covered products to create wealth, mass rural employment and prosperity to the people.
Bioresource based rural transformation
Transformation of the subsistence economy of rural poor farmers to prosperous industrial farmers
The programme have the following components
Inventory, documentation and digitized database preparation of Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) of wild and non-traditional agricultural crops and the associated traditional knowledge system for conservation and sustainable utilization
Identification of local specific cultivation/collection and value added production technology based on local bioresources and human resources
Knowledge & skill empowerment and an enabling environment of rural farmers/people to convert the resources into wealth in an ecologically sound and sustainable manner
Strength of Kerala State in Biodiversity & Biotechnology
Blessed with diverse agroclimatic conditions
Rich in all levels of biodiversity species, genes, habitat
Rich in cultural diversity that generated rich fund of TK
We have tapped only a fraction of this nature’s vast library of genes & TK
Over 70-80% genetic resources of India untapped in general and Kerala State in particular.
Excellent opportunity for hunting novel genes, drugs, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmaceuticals, new chemicals/raw materials for new industrial ventures.
• Nutritional and primary healthcare (PHC) security-Home gardens
•Herb for All and Health for All
•PHC- A primary concern under the Common Minimum Programme (CMP) of Govt. of India
Rural Upliftment
Rural Upliftment
• Cultivation of Low volume high value crops
Ornamentals, Medicinal, Aromatical, Gum, resin and dye-yielding plants
Value addition at farm site
Semi-processed or fully processed/ finished products- Functional food (Medicinal Food) Nutraceuticals
Forward link with global level marketing
Rural Upliftment
• Development of location specific value added herbal products - Herbal villages
• Cultivation, post harvest management and value ition
• Dyes, flavourants, gum, resin, latex, tannins
Rural Upliftment
• Value added herbal drugs/products
• Nutraceuticals, functional foods and cosmaceuticals
• Health Tourism
Global market of functional food is 33 billion US $.
USA represents an estimated market share of more than 50%.
10-15 billion US $ potential in Europe (Germany, France, UK, Netherlands are the major countries).
Japanese markets - 50 million US $ (1999).
