Planetary health and Food Systems Reflections.
Participating in these sessions of a fairly new area of Planetary Health was an intellectually gratifying experience, evoking a profound sense of wonder and curiosity. The enthralling exploration of the Anthropocene, an epoch shaped unmistakably by humanity's actions, awakened a deep contemplation on our interconnectedness with the natural world. The dynamic interplay between human health and this geological era prompted reflections on our collective responsibility to safeguard the planet's delicate equilibrium which in Dr. Dr. Carlos Faerron's words 'Is one Interconnected System Broken down simply for Studying/Exploring'.

Immersing myself in the realm of sustainable health systems instilled a sense of optimism, envisioning a future where healthcare and ecological integrity coalesce harmoniously. The captivating discourse on the Planetary Health Diet, particularly its implications for combatting malnutrition in Africa, sparked thoughts on the complex relationships between nutrition, social equity, and environmental preservation.
