From Rome to New York City, we have been busy this week advocating for farmed animal health, welfare and the environment on the world stage.

One Health

First, we joined the FAO’s Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood Systems, in Italy. This conference is the first of its kind - and a timely acknowledgment of the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health. Its focus was on financing and implementing policies which can better protect us all.

Our Global Head of Research and Policy, Dr. Christopher Browne presented a new science-policy brief with the University of Edinburgh and the International Livestock Research Institute.

Leading a panel discussion on finance, our Global Director of Campaigns and Advocacy, Deborah Tripley, said:

There is growing recognition that One Health is no longer optional. The challenges we face, from emerging diseases and antimicrobial resistance to biodiversity loss, food insecurity and climate change, cannot be addressed in isolation.

NY Climate Week

At New York Climate Week, our team joined conversations on regenerative agriculture, nitrogen reduction, methane, food policy, climate-friendly food systems, and sustainability while connecting with leaders from across the food and agriculture sectors.

Matthew Dominguez, our U.S. Executive Director, also joined Why Regenerative's Ag Policy Summit to discuss the role of labelling and transparency in building a more accountable food system.

UN General Assembly

As part of the 81st UN General Assembly High Level week, our Global Head of International Affairs, Nicholas Ceolin, attended the High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response. This was another opportunity to highlight the clear links between intensive animal agriculture and human health.
