INTRODUCTION
Globalisation may be defined as a process by which businesses, people and companies
come together on a common global platform. It is the process of interaction and integration
between the people, governments and companies of various nations which is driven by the global
trade and investments which is aided by information and technology. In recent years there has
been rise in the globalisation which are brought various opportunities, challenges as well risks
for the businesses across the world (Eriksen, 2018). Globalisation has led to free movement of
goods and services and people across the various countries in an uninterrupted manner which has
resulted in the growth and advancement across the nations of the world. Globalisation has
impacted lives of the people, businesses, cultures, economies of the world and is still impacting
due to continuous process of globalisation. There are various reasons for increase in globalisation
like the technology, transportation, communication processes etc and these are also called as
drivers of globalisation. It has mostly impacted the business of the world as there are numerous
opportunities as well as threats available for the companies in the global business environment.
Also due to increase in global process human health has become a great concern due to climate
change and lifestyle trends which as resulted in change in ecosystems, food security, water
resources that have affected human health (Bennett and et.al., 2015). So, it has become really
important to maintain the sustainability of human health globally. There is a link between the
standards of globalisation and various components of human health which has effected global
human health and its sustainability. In recent years globalisation has played and important role is
development of human health across the world but with every advantage there are disadvantages
associated with it. It has also been one of the possible reason for degrading the human health and
there are various factors associated with it. Nations of the world are putting efforts for
developing as well as improving the sustainability of human health across the world.

globalisation.
Research Questions:
 What is the impact of globalisation on human health?
 What is the need of sustainability for improving human health?
 How environmental, social and lifestyle changes is imposed by globalisation?
 What are approaches for improving sustainability of human health through globalisation?
Significance:
This report has got a great significance as it can provide knowledge to the readers about
the process of globalisation and how sustainability plays and important role for the human
health. It also provides an idea of how sustainability can be promoted across the world which

LITERATURE REVIEW
Impact of Globalization on Human Health
As per the views of Beck, (2018) health consciousness have become the basic need of
people in their every day life. In a retailing organisation there may exist a huge positive impact
of globalization which can positively effect the human life. If an organisation enters in to the
global market there may be a large scope of improvement. Globalization can help in improving
the quality of products as well as services within the retail sector. The process of globalisation
can help in providing the huge amount of information for the organisation which can be used by
a company in improving the quality of its products in an international market. With the increase
in quality it can attract the people across the world and can act as promotion of health in the
countries in which a company operates. Due to the promotion through globalisation, it can create
a health consciousness among the customers which can help them in improving the healthy
living at a global level. The products which are healthy in nature can be the best way of
improving the human health. Various countries across the word are involved in selling of organic
and healthy products which can be effective for promoting a good health and the products which
does not contain harmful substance.
As per Hirst, Thompson and Bromley, (2015) many countries wants to promote healthy
life style in citizens because most of the people prefer the fast food to save time in hectic life
schedule. This is causing a lot of problems like obesity in different age groups. So it is important
to promote healthy life style. The companies which are promoting healthy life style in people are
selling different healthy products which are directly come from farms and hundred percent
organic. If citizen of country are using organic product over other product will improve their
routine life style. Globalization of a company which is promoting organic and fresh products
improves the health of customers. If the company is selling their product on international level it
will provide healthy product to larger number of people and this will improve life style of too
many people. Globalization also help the organization in different manner like sustainable
packaging of food product which is harm less and can help to preserve food product for longer
time. The healthy product which are served or sell by different organization provide better level
of nutrition to user. This improves their immunity level and less chemical improve their physical
health. This is how the globalization help the people to live a healthy life style.

Need of Sustainability on Human Health
As the view of Steger, (2017) for better human health sustainable food products are
essential. The farming process of this product should be chemical free. The chemical used in
fertilizer are not good for human health. The chemical like urea and other chemical as fertilizer
increase the productivity but it comes with less nutrition value. This chemical severely damages
the human body after consumption. When this chemical fertilizer reach to intestine they damage
the inner surface and reduce its function. This slowly reduces the health of humans. To prevent
this the farmers need to use chemical free fertilizer in the farming to grow chemical free food
products. By this type of organic food product the better nutrition reach to body which help the
people to live healthy life. The people who are aware of bad effect of chemical containing food
product usually don't use this kind of product. Sustainability in the food product is most
important for healthy life. The organic food products are able to sustain the health of users.
Ethically is important to provide better food product to people which will keep them healthy and
safe from different disease. So sustainability is required in food products for healthy life style.
According to Pieterse, (2019) if the products people are using are not sustainable for
health can cause different type of deficiency in people. Sustainability of food product can be
judged by the nutritious value of food item and packaging of food product. The quality and
nutritious value of product is most important for better health. If the product is meeting the
requirement of nutrition then it will be good for health. Different companies uses the chemical
preserver to keep the product preserve for longer time which is not good for health and cause
different medical issues in consumer. The packaging of product also important to maintain
nutrition value and quality of product for longer time. In the globalization use of better
sustainable methods can improve the health of consumer which is basic need. Organization can
use different sustainable ways of packaging which can keep the food product free form
contaminating. Contaminated food product can cause many sever issues which are not good for
health. Use of chemicals as preserver can reduce the efficiency of digestive system of consumer.
So it is very important to keep the food product sustainable to maintain better human health.
Environmental and Social Impact of Globalization
According to (Baylis, 2020) the companies which are producing develops the product as
per the market trends and needs of consumer. The current trends in market are more focused on
healthier diet. These food products improves the physical fitness in human beings. This thing
