From traditional knowledge to market: A pathway for ethical commercialisation of Indigenous food products

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global legal frameworks seek to ensure that benefits arising from the use of biological resources are shared fairly, yet their practical application—particularly where plant materials and Indigenous knowledge are involved—remains challenging. This article presents a case study modelling a pathway for ethical research and commercialisation of Indigenous
