One Health emphasizes the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health, recognizing that the health of one component directly impacts the others. In rural areas, where agricultural practices are integral to livelihoods, the adoption of sustainable farming methods can have profound implications for community health and well-being. By harnessing the potential of organic compounds, researchers can address the complex challenges facing rural communities, including ensuring food security, promoting animal welfare, and safeguarding environmental resources. Recent studies have shown promising results in the use of organic feed supplements and herbal remedies to enhance livestock health and productivity. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding the long-term impacts of these practices and their integration with modern agricultural technologies. This research topic builds upon the foundational principles of One Health to develop integrated solutions that benefit both human and animal populations, while also addressing the need for more comprehensive and sustainable agricultural practices.

This research topic aims to advance the principles of One Health by integrating organic compounds into agricultural and food production systems to enhance animal production, health, and welfare in rural communities. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, the research aims to identify innovative approaches that optimize farming practices, improve product quality, and minimize environmental impact. Through empirical research, case studies, and theoretical insights, the topic seeks to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers working to promote sustainable development and holistic well-being in rural settings.

To gather further insights into the integration of organic compounds in rural agricultural practices, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Efficacy of organic feed supplements in enhancing livestock health and productivity
- Utilization of herbal remedies for animal welfare
- Sustainable farming practices and their impact on rural community health
- Precision agriculture technologies in optimizing crop yields and livestock health
- Genetic modification and its role in sustainable agriculture
- Interdisciplinary approaches to integrating traditional knowledge with innovative farming methods
- Policy recommendations for promoting One Health in rural settings
- Case studies on successful implementation of One Health principles in rural communities
