Agricultural Health

Edit

Agricultural health refers to the field of study concerned with the relationships between agricultural production systems, agricultural environments, and the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems associated with farming activities [1]. Agricultural health encompasses the assessment and management of biological, chemical, physical, and environmental factors arising from agricultural practices that may influence human, animal, and ecosystem health [2]. Key areas include occupational exposures among agricultural workers, food production environments, livestock–human interactions, environmental contamination, and ecological conditions affecting agricultural systems [3]. Unlike general public health approaches that primarily focus on population-level health outcomes, agricultural health emphasizes health-related processes occurring within agricultural environments and production systems [1]. Agricultural health integrates knowledge from agriculture, food safety, veterinary science, environmental health, and life sciences to characterize interactions between farming practices and health outcomes across interconnected biological systems.
