Abstract
Recently emerging technologies in farming invite to broaden the dominant worldview in science.
This expanded view on the relation of man-nature has implica-tions for understanding the influence of nature on human health.
The emerging tech-niques are an expression of the fundamental shift in science about a century ago, expanding the view of nature as particles towards nature as waves.
Furthermore we should realize that the earth not only is a globe of minerals in the universe, it is also a complex of electromagnetic fields in which plants and animals and mankind have evolved over time.
This expanded view offers the potential to explain the effectiveness of vibration patterns (electromagnetic waves) on plants and animals.
Many new instruments and intuitive techniques are mushrooming.
Effects are being measured and quantified.
Then follows the step from plants and animals to human beings.
The basic physiological processes in the bodies of mankind are very close to those in plants and animals, so vibration patterns that influence the health of plants and animals could as well influence the health of human beings.
This paper presents a number of these emerging techniques, discusses the potential of broadening the positivist worldview and concludes with a proposal for an expanded model for research on the relation between nature and human health.
