| Abstrakt: | Non-pharmaceutical interventions for veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder are becoming a more popular way to address some of the social and personal needs identified by this group. Horticultural therapy or growing and eating food together provides several ways to increase mood, improve nutritional status, reduce loneliness and reduce the physical health impacts of mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder. In this paper we will discuss some of the issues people living with post-traumatic stress disorder might face. We will also provide an overview of the therapeutic effects of these approaches and how they will be applied in a locally identified group. Competing Interests: Competing interests: Both authors are involved with the two charities cited in this article: RM has gifted his farm to be used by the listed charities to be used to support military veterans and their families; MG provides guidance and expertise in the areas of mental health and nutrition.
