AI Applications for Ecosystems Resilience in the Context of One Health

Abstract:
Ecosystem degradation caused by unsustainable agricultural practices poses urgent risks to food security, biodiversity, and public health. The One Health framework recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative tool to strengthen this approach. AI-driven applications from precision monitoring of soil and crop health to predictive models of climate risks offer practical solutions to reduce chemical inputs, enhance productivity, and safeguard ecological balance. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a transformative force in addressing the challenges of unsustainable agricultural practices, environmental degradation, and public health risks. This webinar will explore how AI-driven solutions can advance the One Health approach by integrating human, animal, and environmental health for a sustainable and resilient future.
