CD/DVD Cover - The Canadian NTFP Business Companion

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.

We also contribute time to Mozilla projects like Firefox and Thunderbird.

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 as the International Year of Forests
to raise awareness of sustainable management, conservation, and sustainable development
of all types of forests. P&M Technologies was happy to be a part of this endeavour.
