🍃 The #ONEHEALTH approach has been a cornerstone 🌺of the #FoodSafety4EU H2020 project from the start, guiding its efforts to strengthen #EU #food #safety systems. 👉 This framework has shaped priorities in the ♦️#SRIA, the #Strategic #Research and #Innovation #Agenda, placing health at the center of sustainable food safety policies. 🔗 Next month, the #EU #FOOD #SAFETY #FORUM in Rome will continue to build on this vision, advancing #ONEHEALTH as a driver of impactful change! https://lnkd.in/erR25w5g

The deadly floods in Valencia show once again the catastrophic effects of climate change. Our health and the health of animals and ecosystems are interconnected. We have seen it with the spread of many types of infectious diseases, as was highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the increase of vector-borne diseases like dengue, also spreading in Europe. An integrated One Health approach addresses these linkages and vulnerabilities through multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary collaboration; strengthening prevention and preparedness capacities through data and research; sustainable financing and capacity building. #OneHealth #HealthUnion

One Health Awareness Month continues today (Day 11) with the topic - Climate Change and the Health of Animals, Humans, and Ecosystems. Climate change impacts our world, with profound consequences for the health and welfare of animals, humans, and ecosystems. This interconnectedness highlights the urgency of adopting a One Health approach to address the complex challenges we face. Rising temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events are directly and indirectly affecting health outcomes across species: Direct Effects include: Heat Stress: Increasing temperatures and heat waves disrupt metabolic balance, cause oxidative stress, and suppress immunity in livestock, leading to infections and even death. Human Health: Temperature-related illnesses and fatalities are becoming more prevalent, particularly in vulnerable populations. Indirect Effects include: Pathogen Dynamics: Changes in climate alter the survival and distribution of disease vectors and pathogens, increasing the risk of zoonotic diseases. Resource Scarcity: Reduced access to quality feed, water, and arable land intensifies competition, threatening food security and livelihoods. The One Health approach advocates for collaborative solutions to address these challenges by integrating human, animal, and environmental health. This includes: Climate-resilient livestock management and welfare practices. Development of integrated syndromic surveillance systems for early detection of zoonotic pathogens. Community-based adaptation strategies to mitigate the cascading effects of climate change on ecosystems. The cost of inaction is steep, but by working together, we can build resilience, safeguard food security, and protect the delicate balance of our planet.

The Strategy One Health is not just a concept but a necessity, addressing health complexities at the intersection of humans, animals, and our shared environment. As we navigate through challenges like zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and climate change, the One Health approach offers a sustainable pathway forward. It encourages multidisciplinary collaboration across various sectors and disciplines, driving innovations in health policies, practices, and research. By aligning efforts in human, animal and plant health, One Health aims to formulate proactive solutions that are vital for a healthier planet. Bioiberica champions this holistic approach to ensure a resilient health future for all species and ecosystems. #OneHealth #Sustainability #GlobalHealth #Innovation #LifeSciences

Working in Life Science R&D for more than 25 years has really opened my eyes to how interconnected our health, animal health, and the environment really are. That’s the core of One Health: tackling health challenges together, because everything’s linked. Here's the real deal: Both public and private investments in R&D are vital for powering the One Health strategy. Why? Because the challenges we face—like pandemics, environmental sustainability, and zoonotic diseases—aren't just huge, they’re complex. We need the financial muscle and the brainpower from both sectors to drive serious innovation. But it's not just about funding. Building partnerships across industries and borders is just as crucial. We need to pull together—academia, government, healthcare, and agribusiness—to create resilient solutions that benefit our health and our planet. So, let’s start a conversation about this. How can we boost both private and public R&D investment and foster partnerships that make a difference? Drop your thoughts and let’s brainstorm some real-world solutions. #OneHealth #LifeScience #PublicPrivatePartnership

As our world becomes more interconnected, human health is deeply tied to the well-being of animals and the environment. The One Health concept embodies this understanding, advocating for 'two-eyed seeing'—a holistic approach that combines diverse perspectives to enhance health outcomes for people, animals, and ecosystems. Despite its potential, One Health implementation in Asia remains fragmented, with health, agriculture, and environmental sectors often working in isolation. In our latest blog, "One Health: Two-Eyed Seeing to Address Emerging Threats in a Climate-Impacted World," we delve into how integrating the One Health concept can address challenges at the intersection of climate and health.

🌍 Celebrating One Health Day! 🌍 Today, I'd like to highlight the vital importance of the One Health approach, which fosters collaboration across sectors to effectively combat emerging infectious diseases. One Health not only enhances our ability to monitor and manage zoonotic diseases but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices, food security, and environmental resilience. This holistic perspective is essential for addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and global health threats. Endorsed by leading international organizations such as WHO, FAO, and OIE, One Health strategies are proven to be highly cost-effective, significantly reducing the morbidity, mortality, and economic costs associated with outbreaks. Let us deepen our collective commitment to the One Health approach, integrating this vision within governmental frameworks and practices to pave the way for a healthier and safer future for all! #OneHealthDay #OneHealth #ZoonoticDiseases #PublicHealth #Sustainability #HealthForAll #SustainableDevelopment #EcosystemHealth #AnimalWelfare #InfectiousDiseases #PublicHealthInitiatives 📷 : WHO website

It’s World Environment Day! 🌍 Celebrated annually on June 5th, World Environment Day was established by the UN to help raise awareness of the importance of protecting our planet. As our global population grows, so does the impact on our planet – but there are lots of things we can all do to help reduce the burden on the environment. 💚 One of the easiest ways to reduce our carbon footprint is by changing the way we eat! Shifting to a more plant-based diet can help solve many of the global problems affecting the world, from freeing up land use to grow crops for human consumption to reducing the likelihood of zoonotic diseases. Read more about the positive effects a plant-based diet has on the environment on our blog. Link below. ⬇️ https://hubs.ly/Q02zqSPx0 #ProVeg #ProEnvironment #WorldEnvironmentDay
