Background: Human health is closely interconnected to our ecosystem. Several studies found evidence that nature-based interventions improve mental health. Very recently, these approaches have started including mindfulness practices. Nature-based mindfulness interventions (NBMIs) combine contemplative practices with exposure to natural environments and are increasingly recognised as promising tools for supporting mental health and resilience within a One Health perspective, fostering physio-psychological wellbeing whilst promoting nature awareness and a sense of connection with our planet—“biofilia”, as defined by American biologist Edward Wilson. Given the growing psychological impacts of climate-related stressors, NBMIs may offer particular value for regions with high climate-risk and ecological vulnerability. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted following established principles for high-quality non-systematic reviews. A non-systematic but structured search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library (January 2018–November 2025), complemented by grey literature, identified studies involving adolescents and adults participating in interventions integrating mindfulness practices with natural environments. Extracted data included study context, participant characteristics, intervention type, mental health and resilience outcomes. Results: Across heterogeneous designs, NBMIs consistently reduced stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms and rumination, while improving sleep, vitality, attention and self-regulation. Most studies reported enhanced nature connectedness—an important mediator of wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviour. Programmes delivered to disaster-affected populations showed reductions in distress. Conclusions: NBMIs are feasible, low-cost and adaptable interventions with dual benefits for mental health and ecological awareness. They offer promising One Health-aligned strategies for strengthening psychological resilience in climate-vulnerable regions, warranting further research and context-specific adaptation.

Air emissions from livestock farming, particularly ammonia (NH₃) and particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀), constitute a major environmental and occupational health concern. The aim of this work was to assess the compliance with the Verification of Environmental Technologies for Agricultural Production (VERA) protocol in livestock emission monitoring studies and to propose the Adherence VERA Index (AVI) as a novel quantitative tool for standardizing methodological evaluation. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus, identifying 26 eligible studies published between January 2012 and June 2025. Data were extracted on farm characteristics, analytical methods, environmental variables, and emission outcomes, and evaluated across the five VERA protocol domains. The review revealed substantial methodological heterogeneity and overall suboptimal compliance with the VERA protocol, with frequent deficiencies in the reporting of key parameters such as ventilation rate, sampling strategy, and emission estimation methods. In this context, the AVI, by condensing core VERA requirements into a concise and operational metric, may facilitate protocol uptake and improve reporting compliance compared with the full VERA framework. Notably, several studies reported NH₃, PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ concentrations exceeding occupational and environmental exposure thresholds, particularly in swine and poultry farms, highlighting critical risks to workers’ health. These findings underscore the need for enhanced standardization, integration of occupational health metrics, and improved air quality monitoring to ensure reliable exposure assessment and to safeguard both environmental and worker health in the livestock sector.
