LimnanthesLa limnanthe est un genre de plantes herbacées annuelles communément appelées meadowfoam. Les sept espèces sont originaires des régions côtières et adjacentes (vallées intérieures, contreforts et les montagnes) de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord , où elles poussent généralement dans des habitats marécageux, tels que les marges des mares printanières. Certaines sont endémiques à la Californie.

| Résumé : |
Sustainability is an inconsistently defined term, and not solely in the personal care industry. For the purposes of this article, we will accept a commonly accepted definition as laid out in The Future of Sustainability. "The core of mainstream sustainability thinking has become the idea of three dimensions, environmental, social and economic sustainability.
In 1983, a collaboration of seven farms in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, US, began commercial production of meadowfoam seed. In 1984, these seven farms joined with eight more to form the nonprofit Oregon Meadowfoam Growers Association (OMGA) and licensed the first commercially viable varieties of meadowfoam from Oregon State University (OSU).
By 1997, the increasing number of growers involved in meadofoam crop production necessitated the reorganisation of OMGA into an agricultural cooperative named OMG. This cooperative was the driving force behind the commercialisation of meadowfoam seed oil and is best known to the cosmetics and personal care industries through its subsidiary, Natural Plant Products (NPP).
Today, OMG consists of over 50 member farms dedicated to the sound production of meadowfoam and daikon radish seed. OMG/NPP's position as a farming company provides it with a unique perspective on and an ability to evaluate and affect sustainability in local agriculture. |
