Food, ecosystems, equality – can we have it all?

Ecosystems and Health Promotion:

The concept of health promotion gradually emerged from the discipline of public health during the 1970s. As globalisation gathered momentum, and as decolonisation proceeded, interest in social determinants of health re-surfaced, culminating in the primary health care (PHC) movement and the seminal health for all declaration. The PHC movement called for the balancing of purely medical aspects of health care with greater emphasis upon the social, economic, and political determinants of health, particularly for those members of the global population whose income is low.

Eco health:

Eco health extends ancient environmental health by finding out the link between health and expressly ecological factors like variety and scheme “services”.

We believe this can strengthen health promotion, benefit eco health, and help to promote and protect sustainable global health.

Health Promotion:

Health promotion seeks to understand and address the complex constellation of social, environmental, and political factors that underpin health. These factors, often described simply as the “social determinants of health are “upstream” of more obvious proximal causes of health outcomes. This distance upstream can be temporal or conceptual.

Healthy marine ecosystems:

Human pressures on marine ecosystems, such as population growth, environmental degradation and climate change, have increased to an extent where no parts of the oceans are unaffected.

The speedy deterioration of coastal zones is especially appalling and affects common fraction of the world’s population WHO board coastal regions.

Rapidly rising food demand:

With “food” we associate everything from the act of nurturing seeds, crops, livestock and non-cultivated wild foods, fish and other aquatic resources and their land- and seascapes, to cultivating and preparing food, and to eating together and speaking and thinking about it.
