Modern agriculture and One Health

Modern agriculture has improved global food security, alleviated poverty, and enhanced human health, but it also presents challenges such as ecosystem degradation, increased risk of diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. To address these issues, the One Health framework suggests implementing modern technologies and good agricultural practices like precision farming, integrated pest management, biosecurity measures, vaccination programs, and early detection of health risks. Enhancing stakeholder education, strengthening regulatory frameworks, and providing supportive policies are crucial for the long-term viability of agrifood systems, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations playing a pivotal role.
