ABSTRACT
A diverse range of natural fibers is produced in many countries providing an important source of income for farmers and local communities. With the UN declaring 2009 as the Year of Natural Fibres, for the state of Uttarakhand the development comes as a fillip to its efforts toward promoting the use of natural fibers. Some of the commercially important natural fibers found in Uttarakhand are obtained from Sisal, Agave, Bhimal, Hemp, Jute, and Nettle. This review article describes some of the fiber-yielding plants of North West Himalayas with special reference to Uttarakhand. Many of the natural fibers described have been traditionally used by the rural communities; some of the traditional processing techniques employed have been described along with other natural fiber plant species that have the potential to provide alternative employment opportunities. This review article aims to compile the record of fiber-yielding plants of Uttarakhand, which will lead to increase the contribution of fiber-yielding plants in the rural economy and ecosystem of the state for achieving sustainable socioeconomic development.
摘要
许多国家生产各种各样的天然纤维，为农民和当地社区提供了重要的收入来源。随着联合国宣布2009年为天然纤维年，对于北方邦来说，这一发展是对其促进使用天然纤维努力的激励。在乌塔拉罕发现的一些商业上重要的天然纤维来自剑麻、龙舌兰、比马尔、大麻、黄麻和荨麻。本文介绍了喜马拉雅山西北部的一些纤维生产植物，特别是北安恰尔邦。所描述的许多天然纤维传统上被农村社区使用；所应用的一些传统加工技术已经与其他具有提供替代就业机会潜力的天然纤维植物物种一起被描述。本文旨在通过整理乌塔拉罕邦纤维生产植物记录，提高纤维生产植物在农村经济和国家生态系统中的贡献，实现社会经济的可持续发展。
