One Health Approach for Food Security and Public Health

The concept of One Health emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This approach explores how animal-borne illnesses impact food security, public health, and overall well-being. By examining diseases like avian influenza, Newcastle disease, and brucellosis, we see the significant burden they pose to both animals and humans, affecting nutrition, immunity, and disease susceptibility. Utilizing goats and chickens as sources of nutrition highlights the importance of sustainable agricultural practices and the potential implications on human development and economic outcomes.

3. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses One Health affects Food Security affects Nutritional Status affects Immunity affects Disease Susceptibility

4. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses Key characteristic Human Nutrition Goats and chickens are important sources of nutrition

5. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses

6. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses Advantage of goats and chickens in food security No requirement for formal feed inputs Sustainability of goats and chickens in agricultural production Food Non-food animal products Fertilizer hair

7. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses Animal and human burden of disease Avian influenza May cause significant disease if a highly pathogenic variant in both domestic birds and humans Spread by infectious droppings or aerosols Newcastle disease May cause significant disease in domestic birds , minor disease in humans Spread by infectious aerosols Brucellosis May have significant disease in humans, may be asymptomatic in goats Spread by contact with infectious material, including milk

8. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses Loss of protein provided goats and chickens Adults and child development Less wealth accumulation Loss or reduction in eggs and milk

9. Food Security, Public Health and Other Consequences of Animal-borne Illnesses The relationship between nutrition and human immune function Protein Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals)
