The role of cultural narratives in ethnobotanical research is gaining recognition as an important factor shaping both the way plants are used and commercialized and conservation practices in developing nations. Plants serve as more than just biological organisms; they represent a symbolic representation of society, and they exist within the context of traditional knowledge and the economic systems that support them. This thesis examines how traditional ecological knowledge, cultural symbols and market activities contribute to the establishment of botanical commerce and entrepreneurship in developing nations by utilizing qualitative syntheses of interdisciplinary sources. The analysis indicates that cultural identity, plant-based livelihood and sustainability are all interrelated through a complex web of relationships. In addition, the incorporation of indigenous knowledge into contemporary business practices has the potential to enhance biodiversity and socio-economical sustainability. Overall, these findings underscore the necessity for interdisciplinary methods including botany, anthropology and development studies to facilitate sustainable bio-economic transition of developing countries.
