Actions on One Health: Voices from youth

Young people are helping turn One Health from an approach into action.

Across agrifood systems, young professionals are working across disciplines and sectors to address challenges that connect the health of people, animals, plants and ecosystems. Their experiences offer practical insights into how One Health can be applied on the ground – and what is needed to take action further.

FAO and the Global Youth Network on Sustainable Livestock Transformation invited young professionals aged 18–35 to share their experiences through the Actions on One Health: Voices from youth video call.

The videos bring together perspectives from young professionals working in different countries and areas of agrifood systems. They share what inspired them to apply One Health, how collaboration across sectors is contributing to their work, and the changes they would like to see to strengthen One Health implementation.

Together, their voices highlight the important role of the next generation in developing, applying and advocating for solutions that recognize the connections between human, animal, plant and ecosystem health.
