Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants used in everyday products. They pose a significant threat to global agricultural sustainability and food security, particularly in European farmlands. Contamination occurs through industrial discharges, biosolid applications, and contaminated irrigation water. PFAS contamination affects soil fertility, water quality, and food safety, and has broader implications for Europe's food security. This research explores the scale of PFAS contamination, its implications for food security, and innovative remediation solutions. A multi-faceted strategy integrating detection tools, advanced remediation technologies, and policy initiatives is proposed to mitigate PFAS contamination while ensuring sustainable agricultural practices. A significant threat to global agricultural, public health, and food security the AI technologies revolutionizing environmental sustainability by developing machine learning algorithms, predictive statistics, and data analysis tools. Technologies are enhancing ecosystem management, advancing environmental research, providing digital solutions to complex environmental problems, and generative and using AI in Sustainability Environmental Education.
