The 2019 SHIFT Festival is developing the business case for nature as medicine as a way to advance the economic and practical applications of nature as a social determinant of health.

Led by Dr. Aruni Bhatnagar, Director of The Envirome Insitute at the University of Louisville, and Dr. Terry Horton, Associate Professor of Research in the Department of Anthropology at Northwestern University, the “Evidence for Action” Steering Committee is helping SHIFT organizers build a poster session that showcases basic and applied research that can inform the discussion by contributing to the evidence base.


We welcome abstracts that examine the effects of nature contact, outdoor recreation, and time outside on the mind and body.
