4.7 The language of green care<br />

The terms used in relation to green care in different countries and the<br />

context in which they are used provide some information on the state of<br />

development of the different approaches in those countries. In general,<br />

although this is not a rule, the greater the degree of development of green<br />

care interventions the greater the sophistication of the terminology. As<br />

practices and procedures develop so the terms are created or appropriated<br />

from other fields and pass into general use. The terms used may reflect<br />

the structure and organisation of green care in that country. The Farming<br />

for Health Community of Practice has produced an International Glossary<br />

of Terms for care farming. The scope of the glossary is broad and<br />

encompasses much of the general field and principles of green care.<br />

The glossary can be accessed from the Community of Practice website:<br />
