Work aimed at improving health management requires a better understanding of the determinants of observed imbalances in socioecosystems and health crises, including an appreciation of biological, economic, social and agronomic factors.
To meet these challenges, CIRAD has chosen to develop integrated health management strategies, which involves develop interdisciplinarity, at the same time allowing disciplinary approaches and spaces of interaction and innovation for the analysis of health systems (human, animal, plant and environmental) and their modes of political regulation. The modelization can facilitate the development of these integrated approaches. It is also a question of taking into account the interactions and interfaces of all forms between elements and compartments of the systems studied (hosts-vectors-pathogens, environmental compartments-agricultural production-food-health, etc.).
