Community-based enterprises are the result of a process in which
the community acts entrepreneurially to create and operate a new
enterprise embedded in its existing social structure and network.
This book argues that community-based enterprise could represent a
strategy for fostering sustainable local development while at the
same time maintaining traditional knowledge in ethnomedicine and
conserving the local ecosystems.
This volume analyses the very first community-based enterprise
active in the herbal sector in India, the Gram Mooligai Company
Limited (GMCL). The analysis presented in this volume demonstrates
that the GMCL example provides a unique model of how a
community-based enterprise could represent an alternative and
promising model for development of local communities. It is an
unconventional form of entrepreneurship, in that it is based on
regarding collective and individual interests as fundamentally
complementary, and viewing communal values and the notion of the
common good as essential elements in venture creation.
A comprehensive overview of how complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) and traditional medicine (TM) affect women's
reproductive health, this volume brings together a diverse
collection of perspectives from the field to explore the role of
CAM and TM across cultures. Providing a detailed analysis, authors
address the cultural values and medicinal uses of CAM and TM for
reproductive health among women in different sociocultural
environments and geographic settings. Maria Costanza Torri and
Jennie Hornosty's edited collection explores how traditional
practices can improve the well-being of women and highlights the
differences and complementarities between traditional medicine and
biomedicine. Accessible and pedagogically rich, this is a crucial
contribution to medical anthropology, sociology of health and
medicine, women's health, public health, and health policy.
