Our theme this year recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the people, animals and plants in agriculture along with their shared environments. This One Health approach is important to address complex health issues such as zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases. By using this approach, we build better communication and cooperation across many partners, respond more swiftly to outbreaks and promote sustainable solutions locally, nationally and globally.
For more information, see the CDC About One Health site and the USDA One Health site.
