The Beneficial Plant Research Association is a nonprofit scientific and educational corporation formed in 1979, and brought back to life in 2024, to investigate and promote the use of plants to improve human life.

The founders and associates of the Beneficial Plant Research Association are a group of botanists, elders, Indigenous healers, physicians, anthropologists, knowledge holders, business and marketing consultants, travelers, and plant lovers who have access to this information and wish to make use of it. By means of field studies, research in libraries and laboratories, and experiments in gardens and greenhouses, make more people aware of and have access to useful plants.
