Abstrakt

Jak wiele innych krajów, w których zaobserwować można rosnący standard życia, Sułtanat Omanu stoi w obliczu potencjalnie poważnego wzrostu zjawiska określanego mianem chorób „stylu życia”. Zalicza się do nich między innymi cukrzycę, choroby układu krążenia, nadciśnienie i różne formy raka. Główne czynniki stylu życia powodujące problemy zdrowotne to nieodpowiednia dieta oraz brak ruchu. Projekt ogrodnictwa szkolnego wdrożony w Omanie zakłada poprawę wyników edukacji w całym programie nauczania w krótkim okresie, ale też efekty dotyczące sposobu żywienia w długim. Jeśli projekt zakończy się sukcesem, zostanie rozszerzony na znacznie większą liczbę szkół w Omanie. Co więcej, w kraju importującym znaczną część konsumowanych owoców i warzyw mogą pojawić się potencjalne długoterminowe korzyści ekonomiczne dzięki wspieraniu lokalnej produkcji tych produktów żywnościowych. Artykuł omawia przesłanki projektu, jego ogólną koncepcję oraz założenia. Projekt został sfinansowany przez Radę Naukową Omanu.
