SESSION V. Animal Agriculture and the One Health Approach
Chair: David Douphrate, PhD, MPT, MBA, CPE, CSP, SW Ag Center, University of Texas
One Health is the integrative effort of multiple disciplines to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. The One Health concept recognizes that human health is connected to the health of both animals and the environment. Within the One Health framework, livestock operation productivity and efficiency involves a triad of interactions between the animal, equipment and environment, and worker. To date, research emphasis has been placed on the animal or production practices, with very little research attention placed on the worker, and his/her interaction with the animal or environment. This session will address how worker health research is implemented within a One Health framework.
