The subject matter of this book focuses on recognizing the relationship between humans, animals, plants, and their environment to attain optimum health results. The key objectives of ‘One Health’ are to identify and track the numerous risk factors, the system’s strengths, and weaknesses that can further reduce the risk factors’ rising effects and promote several eco-friendly and more sustainable choices.

Considering all the elements of 'One Health' in one location, this book also explains its four key components which are – the geographical component, the ecological component, the human activities component and the food and agricultural component.
