08/09 7:00-9:00 : Side event to discuss 'OneHealth for Food Systems Transformation
Food systems are often described as the single biggest contributor to complex global
health challenges for people, animals, plants, and the environment through pollution,
ecosystem degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, chemical use,
unhealthy and unsafe diets, animal welfare concerns, infectious disease risks, and
biodiversity loss.
The collaborative, multisectoral, transdisciplinary and systems focused nature of One Health allows it to make important contributions to the
functioning of food systems and health through infectious disease prevention,
surveillance and control, ensuring
food safety along food value chains in both formal and informal settings, and animal welfare in food production systems.
