To commemorate FAO’s 80 years of global leadership in food security and to celebrate the role of science, partnerships, and innovation in catalysing agrifood systems transformation, a high-level partner forum titled “One Health in Agrifood Systems is Everyone’s Health” will be convened under the umbrella of the Science and Innovation Forum (SIF), themed “Hand in Hand for Better Foods and a Better Future”, within the 2025 World Food Forum.

Responding to SIF’s guiding question - “What kind of future do we want, and what new forms of cooperation and paradigms in science and innovation do we need to get there?”—the forum will explore how integrated, systems-based approaches can address the interdependencies among human, animal, plant, soil, and ecosystem health.

The event will present the FAO’s One Health Programme Priority Area and discuss the Global Framework for One Health in Agrifood Systems, promoting the power of transdisciplinary science, cross-sectoral governance, and partnerships. It will address complex challenges—antimicrobial resistance, biodiversity loss, food insecurity—through actionable, integrated solutions that translate science into policy and local impact. The forum will advocate for concrete commitments and investment and bold cooperation to build resilient and inclusive agrifood systems that empower communities and protect planetary health. The forum will showcase that One Health is more than a scientific framework—it is a call and a potential to reimagine our collective future by working together.
