FAO hosts meeting to strengthen collaboration on transboundary animal diseases
In parts of Asia, where animal transport often happens quickly through unregulated and remote border areas, animal diseases are especially difficult to control.
Because of this, and because livestock play a major role in economic growth in the region, it is important to address animal diseases that have the potential to impact livelihoods throughout Central, Southern and Western Asia.
That’s the message this week from the FAO, which is hosting a meeting on transboundary animal diseases on 27–28 June in Istanbul.
