Introduction: We speak with Caroline Starr, Agricultural Officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), on why modern agricultural production cannot develop in isolation from ecology, climate, and healthcare. Caroline explains how the “One Health” concept helps overcome systemic barriers and is becoming the foundation for the sustainable future of food systems.
How can we ensure food safety and make agriculture resilient to climate change and transboundary threats? Dr. Budimir Plavšić, Regional Representative for the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) in Europe, provides his expert insights on the matter. In this interview, we discuss why the “One Health” concept is becoming a key tool for strengthening security today, not only in Central Asia but also on a global scale.
