Abstract

The PPPP "Medicinal, aromatic plants and Phytotherapy in São Paulo State: regulations and participatory implementations to strengthen family farming (AF) and civil society movements (Category PCO) has as general objective to promote the implantation and implementation of São Paulo State Medicinal, Aromatic Plants and Phytothery (PMAF) Program (Law 12739/2007) and to strengthen the production network of the AF of PMAF with an agroecological basis. As specific objectives it will have: Identify, strengthen and qualify the network of partnerships in PMAF in the co-creation of the formulation and improvement of this public policy; Define mechanisms along with public policies for the institutional and private market of PMAF and its derivatives from AF and organic production, with regulations and normative instructions that guarantee the quality of the processed plant products (plant drug, essential oils, extracts, etc.); Promote dialogue among different sectors of public management, researchers and civil society organizations and the private sector with regard to PMAF as a source of AF income; appreciation of popular knowledge, access to herbal medicines in the SUS and improvement of the population's quality of life.
