One Health: Holistic and Sustainable Solutions

Based on the premise that human health forms an inseparable whole with animals, plants, and the environment, this book offers a holistic perspective on today’s most complex global challenges through the “One Health” approach. Interconnected risk areas such as climate change, environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity, food security, zoonotic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance are addressed within an interdisciplinary framework. Prepared with contributions from leading experts in their fields, this work emphasizes the importance of preventive and sustainable approaches by focusing not only on the consequences of health problems but also on their underlying causes.

Drawing on scientific data, the book evaluates the interactions between environmental, agricultural, water, and health systems, offering a broad range of solutions, from nature-based solutions to new technologies and from policy development to public participation. Aimed at strengthening the interaction between science and policy and serving as a guide for decision-makers and society, this work demonstrates why the “One Health” approach is indispensible for building more resilient ecosystems, healthy food systems, and a strong social fabric.
