Invasive plants have been deemed to negatively impact our environment and food system. They can thrive in unprecedented numbers, threatening crop yields, food security, native plant populations and biodiversity. As a response, biological and chemical controls are often employed, which compromise the health of our soil, our food, and our bodies.
Many of the same invasive plants have important medicinal and nutritional applications. With enough interest, we can help mobilize their usage instead, offering a more eco-friendly strategy for controlling and managing invasive species across Ontario.
This petition is an effort to demonstrate interest in such resources for their potential role in medicine, in order to opt farmers and environmental agencies to alter risky practices, and further stimulate research/documentation regarding the health benefits of underutilized medicinal plants growing invasively across Ontario.
Please demonstrate support by signing this petition.
Thank You!
