Abstract

Medicinal plants represent an important resource for diversifying agricultural production and creating new economic opportunities in rural areas. The extraction of active principles from these plants is becoming increasingly significant, as the demand for natural, ecological, and high-quality products continues to rise on both domestic and international markets. In this context, the present paper is a review study that analyses the role and potential of extraction technologies for bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, highlighting their applicability on farms and their contribution to the development of sustainable agriculture. Beyond their economic importance, modern extraction technologies can contribute to sustainable development through several mechanisms: economically, by enabling the production of value-added products and reducing dependence on conventional crops; ecologically, by employing efficient and environmentally friendly procedures that minimize resource consumption and waste; and socially, by generating new employment opportunities and supporting farmers’ access to local markets.

Abstract in Romanian

Plantele medicinale reprezintă o resursă importantă pentru diversificarea producției agricole și pentru crearea de noi oportunități economice în mediul rural. Extracția principiilor active din aceste plante devine tot mai importantă, pe măsură ce cererea pentru produse naturale, ecologice și de calitate este în creștere atât pe piața internă, cât și pe cea internațională. În acest context, această lucrare este un studiu de sinteză care analizează rolul și potențialul tehnologiilor de extracție a principiilor active din plante medicinale, evidențiind aplicabilitatea lor în ferme și contribuția la dezvoltarea unei agriculturi sustenabile. Pe lângă importanța economică, tehnologiile moderne de extracție pot contribui la dezvoltarea sustenabilă prin mai multe mecanisme: pe plan economic, prin obținerea de produse cu valoare adăugată și reducerea dependenței de culturile agricole clasice; pe plan ecologic, prin utilizarea unor procedee eficiente și prietenoase cu mediul, care reduc consumul de resurse și risipa; iar pe plan social, prin crearea de noi locuri de muncă și prin facilitarea accesului fermierilor la piețele locale.
