How do the environment and climate affect our health and can the negative effects they have on our health be prevented? These are key questions of the planetary and preventive health theme. This topic draws together several areas of expertise: the relationship between human and animal health, the effect of air and chemical pollution on both human and planetary health and the development of sustainable and healthy food systems for the future.
