| Sumario: | The Ecosystem approach to health, or Ecohealth is a useful tool to
address health and environmental issues in developing countries, particularly in
South East Asia (SEA), where agricultural intensification processes have profound
implications for ecosystems and health. The Field Building Leadership Initiative (FBLI)
Advancing Ecohealth in SEA program aims to build the field of Ecohealth by
integrating research, training, policy and networking to focus on solving human
health problems associated with agricultural intensification in SEA countries. This
paper aims at updating the one-year journey of the program from October 2011 until
October 2012 and providing insights into the plan for the coming years. A number of
activities of the project’s research component, capacity building, and knowledge
translation have been completed in line with the proposal. Outcomes and outputs of
the one-year implementation are also presented.
