Abstract Plant health is increasingly recognized as a vital part of One Health. Yet, action lags behind recognition. Historically focused on service provision, zoonotic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance, Health often overlooks plant in strategic plans. The paradox? Cross-sectoral approaches, core to Health, are already used fields like agroecology, sustainable food systems, integrated landscape management – just not under the banner. disconnect between worlds limits recognition interconnected challenges, obscures critical knowledge gaps, stifles opportunities for synergy. By staying outside Health’s framework, “plant world” misses political institutional clout bodies Quadripartite High-Level Expert Panel, essential driving global support.

A transformation is needed in agricultural production to satisfy the growing population-based increased food demands and overcome safety challenges while supporting human health preservation of natural resources. Improving sustainable practices essential for developing a long-term resilient economy. This systematic review with meta-analyses aims overview agriculture’s progress, trends, future opportunities, focusing primarily on integrating novel technologies into recently prevailing operations. As basis, an extensive literature search was conducted, identifying nearly 45,000 records related closely various dimensions agriculture. Out these, based thorough selection process, 291 were included further evaluations. The temporal distribution content analyses indicated improvement number papers spectrum addressed aspects. analysis publications revealed that most traditional farming focus mass cannot deal interrelated sustainability challenges. On other hand, consider sustainability’s environmental, economic, social aspects, thereby preserving environmental economic viability well-being. integrative assessment this study suggests adopting novel, innovative can achieve significant progress toward sustainability. At same time, broad range limitations are listed, which widely hinder penetration initiatives. To eliminate these barriers, consistent policy regulations required, targeting specific problems, alongside complex, education-based support system, boosting initiatives green transition
