Extract

There are multiple challenges concerning food security and sustainability that a One Health perspective can help tackle. We propose that the community focus on the following three shared by the 100 questions initiative (https://the100questions.org/) which they kindly proposed we publish on their behalf:

Context

There are multiple challenges concerning food security and sustainability that a One Health perspective can help tackle. We propose that the community focus on the following three shared by the 100 questions initiative (https://the100questions.org/) which they kindly proposed we publish on their behalf:

  • How do we incentivize/reward individual farmers and land managers to optimally use their land to achieve local, regional, national, and international targets to produce the right balance of foods in the most sustainable way?Footnote 1

  • How are policies to shift dietary patterns toward sustainable and healthy diets influenced, viewed, and acted upon by the public? How should the public sector promote positive behavior, learning, and health, especially for children and the elderly?

  • What strategies have led to actionable steps for healthier and more sustainable consumption patterns?
