“…Social determinants are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live and age, and how these factors influence our health and determine health inequalities 11 . Cultural determinants of health such as connection to country (land and water), traditional practices and kinship systems promote resilience and support social and emotional wellbeing for Aboriginal peoples and communities 10,12 …”

“…Other commentators have acknowledged that policy makers should consider developing community gardens because they are cost-effective [3], address food insecurities [15,16], promote fruit and vegetable intake [17,18,19], encourage contact with nature [10], support environmental regeneration and resilience [20], and enhance social capital [18,21,22,23]. To increase social capital and social cohesion, culture as a determinant of health has become an attractive policy response in urban areas across the world [24,25,26]. In addition, a growing body of psychological and architectural literature has reported positive associations between human experiences of connecting with the natural environment, and constructs such as wellbeing and vitality [27,28,29,30,31,32].…”

Existing community gardening research has tended to be exploratory and descriptive, utilising qualitative or mixed methodologies to explore and understand community garden participation. While research on community gardening attracts growing interest, the empirical rigour of measurement scales and embedded indicators has received comparatively less attention. Despite the extensive body of community gardening literature, a coherent narrative on valid, high quality approaches to the measurement of outcomes and impact across different cultural contexts is lacking and yet to be comprehensively examined. This is essential as cities are becoming hubs for cultural diversity. Systematic literature reviews that explore the multiple benefits of community gardening and other urban agriculture activities have been undertaken, however, a systematic review of the impact measures of community gardening is yet to be completed. This search protocol aims to address the following questions: (1) How are the health, wellbeing, social and environmental outcomes and impacts of community gardening measured? (2) What cultural diversity considerations have existing community garden measures taken into account? Demographic data will be collected along with clear domains/constructs of experiences, impacts and outcomes captured from previous literature to explore if evidence considers culturally heterogeneous and diverse populations. This will offer an understanding as to whether community gardening research is appropriately measuring this cross-cultural activity.

“…He argues that the health and wellbeing of the first peoples of Australia have been deeply harmed by dispossession and colonisation and the subsequent loss of lands, language, and culture. In this way, he signals the need for health geography to follow examples from elsewhere in geography (see, for example, Coombes et al ., , , ) and engage more fully with Indigenous perspectives, a direction for which we now note beginnings (Kingsley et al ., ).…”

Health geography in New Zealand and Australia: global integration or Antipodean exceptionalism?

This paper examines the hallmarks of an emergent and distinctive Australian and New Zealand health geography over the last 30 years. Building on an assessment of the early development of the sub-discipline in the two countries, a review of published work reveals the co-presence of local themes alongside connections to more global perspectives associated notably with health behaviour. Further common themes are the influence of year-round exposure to outdoor spaces and the proximity of "blue spaces" to urban centres. However, there are divergences in the evolution of the sub-discipline. A comparison of attendance at the biennial International Medical Geography Symposia (held since 1985) with publications in the journal Health & Place reveals differentially globalised characters. A steady flow of international visitors and appointments to New Zealand universities as well as more apparent connections to the wider discipline of geography contrast with more applied geospatial and public health connections in Australian health geography.
