A healthy environment means a healthy planet. But how does nature contribute to the well-being of people - in less direct ways - than the health of the land, air and water? That is the question under the spotlight in this episode of Nature Insight. Brit speaks to Rachelle Gould, an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at the University Of Vermont, who has studied this issue. In addition, she interviews Nick Roskruge, a retired professor of ethnobotany who is active in the Enviroschools Programme in New Zealand. He is passionate about keeping traditional Māori horticultural knowledge alive by stressing the importance of Indigenous systems of knowledge and education.
