She referred to the One Health approach as a valuable insight and framework for success.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During an active dialogue, the panel underscored the importance of animal production and health in food systems. It identified the main drivers for health crises in production systems and explored challenges for smallholder farmers. Panellists agreed that challenge ahead is massive, and requires immediate, bold and synergistic action \u2013 using the tenets of a One Health approach to transforming our food systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In closing, Dr Eloit pledged the commitment of WOAH and its 182 Members to share knowledge and experience in working with others in designing the future food systems. She also suggested that&nbsp; they must not only focus on production per se but the modalities of the production. Finally, she underlined that societal expectations and moral licence, the needs of different communities, the impact on the environment and corresponding repercussions, need to also be considered.<\/p>\n<p>More information: <span style=\"color: #ff4815;\"><a style=\"color: #ff4815;\" href=\"https:\/\/gffa-berlin.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Forum for Food and Agriculture 2023<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo: <em>Monique Eloit (WOAH), Dieter Schillinger (ILRI), Samuel Thevasagayam (Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation), Maria Helena Semedo (FAO), Arnold Puech D&#8217;Alissac (WFO), Martien van Nieuwkoop (World Bank)<\/em>&nbsp; &#8211; \u00a9WOAH\/E.Tagliaro<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Further to an invitation from the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), WOAH organised a discussion panel during the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture held last month in Berlin.
