This book focuses on the United Nations SDG 3, SDG 12, and SDG 15.
The book covers the full range of issues associated with
agrochemical use from a One Health standpoint to promote a cleaner
and safer alternative that leaves little to no negative legacy on
Earth’s natural, social, and economic systems. The main focus of
the book is to address the biodiversity and human health, food
security, and socio-environmental implications of agrochemical use
in food production. It deals with the need to move away from the
use of harmful chemicals in agriculture. The threat to key aspects
of One Health will be used as evidence in support of the need to
transition to safer and cleaner food production systems as well as
the social, economic, health, and environmental viability of
sustainable alternatives. One Health is the innovative convergence
approach that encourages collaborative, cross-sectoral, and
transdisciplinary methods to monitor, assess, report, and implement
shared human health, biodiversity, and environmental challenges and
goals such as agrochemical use. Conventional agrochemicals are
chemicals used to protect plants, improve crop yield and manage
agricultural fields but also have a negative legacy on Earth’s
systems. This book is of interest and useful to agricultural
trainees and trainers, soil, food and agricultural institutes, food
and soil systems specialists, biodiversity and environmental
managers, activists, practitioners, and students. It is also a
useful read for conservationists and industries interested in
promoting organic agriculture for a sustainable community, regional
and global development.
