Merging Plant Science & Business Ideas
Canada is home to over
4,000 plant species – both native and
naturalized. At least 1,700 of them can be found in or near forests.
|
P & M Technologies specializes in identifying commercial prospects for these species
within an ecologically sustainable framework. We are equally active in research on the physiology & resilience of
Canadian plants.
Our areas of expertise include novel uses of plants; botanical medicines; plant bioindicators;
applications in chlorophyll fluorescence technology; and remote sensing of stress in vegetation.
We introduce entrepreneurs to the commercial potential of non-traditional forest products & services
for small businesses and micro-enterprises.

Non-timber Business Ideas for Small Enterprises
We research non-timber forest products
– specialty goods from Canada's forests, such as foods, health products, environmental products, gardening products,
and arts & craft items. We are also helping to advance the emerging field of
non-timber forest services – in sectors such as ecotourism,
education, and business support.
P&M Technologies is pleased to announce our
latest publication, "The Canadian NTFP Business Companion", a comprehensive NTFP business
guide on CD/DVD that's full of business ideas & resources for entrepreneurs in Canada and the northern United States.
