Natural Capital, Human Health, and the Environment
A multidisciplinary panel of natural and social scientist will discuss the interface of human health through the lens of natural capital. We will explore role of the natural environment on interrelationships between economic productivity, nutrition and disease, across difference scales and population gradients. The panel will present some practical solutions that can leverage knowledge of the environment to benefit human health and economic productivity of the poor.
