A claim for plant health as a key component of the one health concept
Ramon Albajes, María M. López, Rafael M. Jiménez Díaz

TL;DR
This paper argues that plant health is a crucial but overlooked part of the One Health concept, which connects human, animal, and environmental health.
Contribution
The paper highlights the importance of integrating plant health into the One Health framework to address global health challenges.
Findings
Plant health is essential for food security and safety, which are key to human and animal health.
Climate change and invasive species significantly impact plant health and the One Health concept.
Antimicrobial resistance in pathogens is a major threat that connects human, animal, and plant health.
Abstract
The concept of health has historically been more closely linked to the well-being of humans than to that of animals, plants or the environment. In contrast, the One Health concept, which emerged in recent decades, generally recognizes the interdependence of only three of its four components: humans, wild and domestic animals, and the environment, but plants have often been overlooked in this analysis. Because plant health has been undervalued within the One Health framework, we emphasize in this review its importance in ensuring food security and safety, two key issues in human and animal health, as highlighted in several of the United Nations SDG. Food production, marketing and consumption use a significant portion of the environment's natural resources, and plant health technology must ensure their sustainable use while safeguarding environmental health. We summarize the relationships…
