Professional association representing growers and producers of aromatic and medicinal plants. Founded in 1982 at the initiative of a group of growers established in depopulated mountain areas, the association now brings together more than 180 producers across France’s different mountain ranges, as well as in lowland areas and other preserved locations.
The Committed Herbalism Map is a collaborative project created with a shared aim: to highlight herbalism professionals and related training providers who are serious, demanding and respectful of plants, people and the living world.
It is the result of collaborative work between the major herbalism networks in France: Fédération des Écoles d’Herboristerie, Association des Herboristeries de France, Guilde des Praticien.ne.s en Herboristerie, Syndicat SIMPLES, Fédération des Paysan.ne.s Herboristes and Association Française des Professionnels de la Cueillette de Plantes Sauvages.
