Description
The People-Plant Council (PPC) was formed as a result of the national interdisciplinary symposium, "The Role of Horticulture in Human Well-being and Social Development," held in 1990. The mission of this Council is to document and communicate the effect that plants have on human well-being and improved life-quality. It is carried out through a three-part strategy focusing on the psychological, sociological, physiological, economic, and environmental effects of plants on people:
communication - maintaining an interdisciplinary network among researchers, funders, users, and Council affiliates.
research - encouraging cooperative efforts to identify research priorities and establish interdisciplinary research methodologies
public awareness - encouraging the use of horticulture for enhanced life-quality based on research findings
PPC is not a membership organization, rather a link or affiliation between organizations. Affiliation is open to all organizations within the horticulture and social science communities and allied or interested organizations to include, but not to be limited to: academic and professional associations; trade and commercial associations, and volunteer, civic, amateur and concerned groups.
