Healthy agrifood systems rely on the well-being of people, animals, plants, and ecosystems. As challenges like climate change and food safety risks grow interconnected, coordinated action across sectors is essential. One Health offers a unified approach to enhance health and resilience in agrifood systems, preventing crises before they arise.

The FAO Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood Systems will take place at FAO headquarters in Rome from September 21 to 23, 2026. This event will gather global leaders and experts to promote the practical application of One Health, fostering healthier and more resilient agrifood systems for all.
