Scientific and educational center for the cultivation of medicinal herbs

Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering

Project idea

There are about 20,000 known substances that are obtained only from plants. Phytopreparations made on their basis have a long-term mild pharmaceutical effect, are low-toxic and less likely to cause allergic reactions, they can be used for a long time without significant side effects.
The project is designed to remind about the connection of man with nature and restore it for the harmonious life of the whole society and the surrounding world.

Project description

The Scientific and educational Center performs both social and scientific functions. On its territory there is a spa center, shops with herbal preparations, places for walking, an exhibition complex for conferences and educational excursions. Modern technologies will be implemented in the study and cultivation of plants, such as drones, vertical greenhouses, holograms, technologies for obtaining plants from several cells in the laboratory. The advantages of this method: the possibility of industrial production of exotic and inaccessible plants, the industrial method of growing isolated crops makes it possible in a short time (often 1-2 months) to obtain a significant amount of valuable medicinal raw materials. The business development option is to focus on red—book medicinal herbs — for example, to grow a golden root.
The seed material of such plants is more expensive, but the selling price of raw materials will be much higher. Innovative technologies can also be used to grow such plants.

Technical information

Since the project is aimed at harmonizing the relationship between man and nature, all materials and technologies are eco-friendly. Recyclable materials such as plastic track tiles will be used. Many plants will be planted on the territory of the center, in addition to the field area itself.
