The One Food team held a workshop at the CSIR ICC in Pretoria in November 2024.
The user group tested the new One Food Risk Tool, examining the ease with which the tool can be used and seeking to generate cross-disciplinary agreement on its utility across the animal/ plant, environment and human health pillars.
Introducing the One Food movement.
We are an international community dedicated to climate resilient, biodiverse, safe and sustainable food systems.
The One Food community initiates a new movement — where One Health approaches are designed-in to the operation of sustainable food systems. We want to articulate the importance of identifying and controlling hazards in food systems as a tangible means to operationalise One Health — creating safer food and a better environment.
All food production on land and in water requires energy and relies on using resources from the natural environment. Food, therefore, lies at the heart of tackling climate change, water stress, pollution, land degradation and biodiversity loss.
Simultaneously, transforming foods systems provides a unique opportunity to eradicate food insecurity and to deliver affordable healthy diets for all. Environmentally sustainable food systems are a pivot around which we can truly operationalise One Health.

One Health Day answers the urgent need for a One Health trans-disciplinary approach towards solving today’s critical global health challenges. It is a timely initiative that gives scientists and advocates a powerful voice for moving beyond current provincial approaches to emerging infectious diseases.
It is World Food Day on 16 October.
Right to foods for a better life and a better future
‘Foods’ stands for diversity, nutrition, affordability, and safety. A greater diversity of nutritious foods should be available in our fields, in our markets, and on our tables, for the benefit of all.
One Food: A One Health approach for Food systems transformation’ was held on Saturday 21st September 2024. The session explored the challenges and opportunities for integrating One Health pillars to form a holistic mechanism for food systems transformation in Africa and beyond.
The community came together on 28 November 2023 for an interactive virtual forum to share updates and perspectives on the progress of the One Food programme.
Water is essential to life on Earth. It covers the majority of the Earth's surface, makes up over 50% of our bodies, produces our food, and supports livelihoods.
But this precious resource is not infinite and we need to stop taking it for granted. What we eat, and how that food is produced all affect water.
