Green Foundation Box

Now published alongside all articles in the journal Green Chemistry, the Green Foundation box contains three questions through which authors can concisely summarise and quantify their work in terms of the green chemistry principles that have been applied. This allows the editor and reviewers to ascertain the green advance that the work presents, while facilitating readers to easily determine the wider sustainability/societal impact.

“One Health, Gender and Feminism” – a special issue of CABI One Health

Although gender is one of the most important social and analytical categories used in public health research, there remains a gap in integrating gender related concepts in human health, animal health, the health of the environment and in the interdisciplinary One Health debate. One Health should be driven by inclusiveness and equity on all levels of society. In consequence, the One Health methodological definition should include feminist theories and gender concepts.
