Assessment of exposure and health impacts associated with agricultural practices (C-AGRI)

This consortium aims to create a dynamic for sharing knowledge, approaches, assessment tools and experimental devices to address the continuum of production - agronomic practices - fate and transfer of contaminants - health impacts.

Reducing the exposure of West Indian populations to chlordecone and improving nutrition: from production systems to health (ECHLORE)

Know more

The project aims to assess how dietary changes reducing exposure to chlordecone would have an impact both upstream (cropping systems) and downstream (nutritional quality and cost of the diet), up to the quantification of health impacts.

Hepatitis E virus: exposure and sharing dynamics in environments and sectors (VHEEP)

Know more

The project proposes to explore how a socio-pathosystem crosses food systems ("chains" of charcuterie and filtering animals), using an integrative approach that combines a "horizontal" perspective (the pathogen between farms and the environment) and a "vertical" perspective (the pathogen in the food chain).

Editorial

Insofar as health-related issues are at the heart of the relationship between agriculture, food and the environment, they can provide an integrative framework for steering and implementing agricultural, food and environmental transitions.

The general goal of the metaprogramme, within such a framework, is to develop studies that seek to further understanding of the different factors and mechanisms, in interaction from agricultural production through to food consumption, that affect human health, and characterise and evaluate those levers (innovations in bio-tech, public policy, the behaviours of players) that are likely to improve the impact of food systems on people’s individual and collective health.
