• Food production, distribution and consumption is a fundamental determinant of
health resilience.
• Human, animal and environmental health are systemically entwined, and this
relationship needs to be captured in health-related policies. Systemic thinking is
necessary to understand the spillover impacts of food systems - related policies
into the health dimension.
• The One Health and the agroecological approaches offer relevant frameworks to
understand the food-health nexus and its implications in terms of health policy
design.
• Policies based on the agroecological principles can drive the food systems and
health transformation towards resilience, thanks to their capacity to reconcile the
economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability.
• Five key areas of the food-health nexus should be considered: food insecurity,
unhealthy dietary patterns, foodborne disease, environmental contamination
and occupational hazards.
