The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and other EU agencies working in the field of health and the environment have agreed on a far-reaching framework for prioritising the One Health approach in their work.
As one of a series of actions following up on recommendations from the ONE Conference, EFSA and its sister agencies established a cross-agency task force on One Health.
The new task force will help coordinate the work and priorities of these agencies, define research needs and provide a forum for stakeholder engagement, keeping One Health at the forefront of their strategic thinking.
One Health, collaboration
Together with the other EU agencies working in the field of health and the environment, we have been looking at ways to put the One Health approach into practice.
This means seizing opportunities to connect and integrate knowledge, data and expertise from a wide range of disciplines, sectors and actors.
ONE Conference 2022
In June 2022, EFSA hosted the ONE Conference in Brussels and online. More than 2,700 representatives from academia, public institutions, the private sector and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) attended the four-day event.
In his closing speech, Bernhard Url, EFSA’s Executive Director, noted that participants at the conference had agreed that the adoption of a One Health approach and closer collaboration were key to making food systems more sustainable.
