Description:
The genesis of CHEC was in an industrial relations experiment from 1945 onwards linking human health
well-being and a productive pattern of living. The principles established were incorporated into
new national legislation for primary and secondary industries in Britain and New Zealand. A community
health/agroeconomic/social ecological group embracing 37 disciplines formulated a framework
for a Commonwealth wide human ecology pilot project. From this beginning the story of CHEC has
unfolded over the years, influencing the need for a holistic approach in al development objectives.
