Valorization of data obtained through molecular techniques in fields such as: pharmaceutical industry, agriculture and environmental protection
The sustainable exploitation of natural biological resources constitutes an important source of income in the bio-economy of rural communities, ensuring their stability and resilience. Currently, the international and intra-EU (EU) trade of these biological resources (medicinal plants, edible macromycetes, forest fruits, snails), harvested from wild flora and fauna, has an increasing trend. The evaluation of annual production as well as the accounting of the quantities harvested and/or purchased annually are particularly important in the context of biodiversity conservation. ICB Cluj has both the data and the professional expertise necessary to objectively substantiate decisions regarding the sustainable exploitation of biological resources.
