Ecological public health
Over the decades public health has had many incarnations. Geof Rayner and Tim Lang (Center for Food Policy) argue that public health today needs an overhaul, and to focus on our co-existence with nature and relationships with each other. They explain why, and how.
Many of the issues Dr Rayner and Professor Lang are concerned about are being taken up by the People's Health Movement. Member Jonny Currie explains what he wants the movement to achieve, and others involved talk about actions they are taking.
