Part II of a 2-part series with Jean Giblette continues from where in Part I (7/22/25) we last discussed the recent US history of growing Chinese Medicinal Botanicals, and Part II moves in-depth into the challenges and opportunities of domestic herb cultivation, the importance of preserving genetic diversity, and the role of farmers, universities, manufacturers, and practitioners in this burgeoning industry. 

Over the past 30 years, Jean has been at the forefront of efforts to receive grants and funding, garner university support for research, and advocating for ecological farming practices and genetic diversity. Actionable items include practical steps and opportunities for practitioners to support the industry, as well as building networks and recognizing opportunities to support the domestic herbal cultivation. Learn how traditional knowledge and modern science can come together to protect our planet’s medicinal botanicals and sustain and grow Chinese medicinal botanicals in the US. Listen to the full episode to learn how you can support the domestic production of Chinese Medicinal Herbs and contribute to a sustainable future for herbal medicine.
