Universities from around the world came together on April 5 this year in Wageningen, Netherlands to plot a course for food safety at the “2018 Global One Health Research, The Future” international symposium.
Davis Warriors was the name of the team. Seven teammates worked together on a learning activity called, “Good Guys vs. Bad Bugs,” in which they explored the importance of sanitary practices on a dairy farm to protect animals from the disease-causing bacteria E. coli.
Summer conference was the ideal setting to bring together faculty and students with mutual concerns for the health of the planet and the animals and people on the planet.
Students learn about connection between people, animals, and the environment, and the role they play in food safety in all areas of the food chain from the soil to the consumer at One Health Conference.
New regulations and the focus on food safety practices, particularly within the nut tree industry, is of great interest because of the popularity of nutritious and delicious tree nuts.
Raising awareness about the link between people, animals, and the environment, as we do in our conferences, is the first step in lighting the fire of One Health and its importance in improving food safety from the soil to the consumer.
A FARAD workshop held in September helped launch future working relationships between the School of Veterinary Medicine, WIFSS, and NAU, to increase educational and research collaborations related to One Health in food safety and food supply drug residue avoidance.
WIFSS is improving food safety from soil to table through its One Health for Food Safety conferences by the threefold mission of raising awareness, encouraging team building, and bringing about change through calls to action.
Excessive pesticide residues in the environment entering the human food chain are a potential health risk. This was one of the food safety problems which students chose to address during the 3-week NAU-UC Davis Graduate Education Conference on One Health.
