Title : Functional medicine and the agronomic engineer: What it is and how to influence in a society after a pandemic
Abstract:
Food production in the world is one of the greatest challenges to achieve various purposes, among which is the supply of foods of plant origin, under the principle of sustainability, health, quality and agri-food safety. In the agri-food field, the main agent is the Agricultural Engineer, who is the professional with knowledge and technique in agri-food systems. However, the economic interests involved in producing food most of the time lead to the failure to meet sustainability criteria, resulting in the production of foods with high pesticide content and poisoning the population that consumes them. We can see this same phenomenon in conventional human medicine, where the pharmaceutical sector, together with human medicine professionals, has worn out; That is, instead of having those opportunities that it gives you to connect with other individuals and do something for someone else, it has really and only been promoted more for economic interest and not the benefit of the patient. The alternative to this condition that is experienced in both sectors (agriculture and human medicine), is to carry out pesticide reduction in agriculture, getting as close as possible to sustainable and organic agriculture. For its part, in human medicine, it is of utmost importance to carry out in our lives the principles of Functional Medicine, which is the process where the professional truly integrates with the patient; It is one that does not focus on the disease, but focuses on the individual, in such a way that it does not cure diseases but rather creates health and that by redirecting the way we produce food and take care of our health, we will be able to give better meaning to our lives. A conference with the Global Scientific Guild, and where science meets wisdom. It is a conference enriched with the principles of Dr. Alexander Krouham, a global expert in functional medicine.
Audience Take Away Notes:
- The agronomist is the technical-scientific basis for the generation of food products in a sustainable manner at the field level
- Knowing the composition of our foods combined with a lifestyle, our healthier lives
- Nutrition, hydration, stress management, exercise, interpersonal relationships, rest, are the principles of a healthy life
