Agriculture, human and environmental health: possible approaches

Abstract

By establishing a relationship between agriculture, human health, and the environment, one realizes the importance of understanding their meanings in human life and contexts to which they are related. Agricultural work is essential for food production and subsistence of farmers, but this activity generates changes in the environment that can impact the health of those who are directly and indirectly involved. Finding the right balance between agriculture, human and environmental health is an example of the need for intersectoriality to ensure better living conditions for the population of the countryside and the city. This study is a theoretical essay whose objective is to reflect on the relationship between agriculture, human and environmental health and the importance of this triad for the rural population. The theoretical discussion leads to the understanding of the complexity of the relationship between agriculture and the context of health and environment.
