20m
Thomas Brendler introduces the Southern African Botanical Products Association (SABPA), and its role in facilitating market access for southern African botanical products. He discusses SABPA's collaboration with the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA) to update the Old Dietary Ingredient (ODI) list, incorporating more botanicals from southern Africa. Brendler emphasizes the importance of access and benefit-sharing (ABS) under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol, highlighting the challenges faced by countries implementing these agreements. He stresses the need for U.S. industry awareness and engagement with ABS principles, despite the U.S. not being a signatory. The presentation also covers the use of newly available historical sources to identify ingredients for inclusion in the updated ODI list, and the potential for ethical marketing around traditional knowledge and sustainable sourcing.
