Editorial Preface

摘要

The International Journal of Public and Private Perspectives on Healthcare, Culture, and the Environment (IJPPPHCE) in this issue presents four articles and one book review, each full of fresh ideas and approaches linking the relationships between culture, society and the environment. Kingsly Awang Ollong in his article 'Issues of Justice and Sustainability in Banana Trade in the Light of Cameroon Case Study' describes and analyses the banana economy, particularly its social and environmental consequences. The detailed discussion is largely based on the case study of Cameroon, but there are good reasons to believe that many research findings are relevant for the whole banana industry as the global banana production and trade is heavily based on giant agro-industrial plantations.
