The article "Soil Health: A Common Focus for One Health and Planetary Health Interventions" by David R. Montgomery, Peter Rabinowitz, Yona Sipos, and Eli E. Wheat highlights the importance of soil health in addressing environmental and human health issues. The authors argue that current agricultural practices, which are often overlooked in training for human health, veterinary, and public health professionals, are driving negative environmental changes such as climate change, deforestation, and the emergence of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. They emphasize that a deeper understanding of soil health and its relationship to agricultural practices could provide foundational solutions to many of these problems. Soil health is defined as the continued capacity of soil to function as a living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals, and humans. It is reflected in the physical, chemical, and biological state of the soil, supported by soil organic matter and diverse soil life. The authors suggest that regenerative agriculture, which minimizes soil disturbance, builds soil organic matter, grows diverse crops, maintains soil armor, and integrates pastured livestock, can enhance soil health and biodiversity. This approach can reduce the risk of soil-associated pathogens, slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance, and improve food security and climate change mitigation. The article also discusses how regenerative practices can reduce pesticide use, promote crop diversity, and enhance soil microbiomes, which are crucial for global biodiversity conservation. It highlights the importance of integrating livestock with crop production through methods like rotational grazing and silvopasture, which can improve nutrient and carbon cycling. The authors propose that training and education initiatives for health professionals, research on the epidemiological associations between soil characteristics and health outcomes, and intervention studies to assess the impact of changing agricultural practices on pathogens and health outcomes are necessary steps to incorporate soil health principles into One Health and Planetary Health approaches. They conclude that a soil health revolution driven by ecological and biodiversity principles could provide a unifying paradigm for designing interventions that benefit human, animal, and environmental health.The article "Soil Health: A Common Focus for One Health and Planetary Health Interventions" by David R.
