Mental Health Benefits of Agriculture
Gardening and farming are age-old practices that for centuries have served as a source of food, income and aesthetic pleasure. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in these practices, not only for their sustainability and health, but also for their significant mental health benefits. From reducing stress and anxiety to improving the performance and well-being, working with the land and plants has a profound impact on our psychological and emotional health.
