Summary
The One Health Joint Plan of Action 2022–2026, produced collaboratively by WHO, FAO, UNEP and WOAH, establishes a five-year operational framework to advance the One Health approach at global and national levels. It identifies six priority action tracks — including food safety, antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic diseases, and the human-animal-ecosystem interface — and outlines implementation pathways for member states. The document is a foundational policy reference rather than an empirical study, and its relevance to food systems lies in its framing of agricultural practice, animal husbandry and environmental stewardship as integral to human health outcomes.
UK applicability
Directly applicable to UK policy contexts, as the UK government has endorsed One Health principles through DEFRA, UKHSA and the UK AMR National Action Plan; the framework informs cross-departmental coordination on zoonotic disease surveillance, food safety regulation and antimicrobial resistance stewardship in agriculture.
Key measures
Strategic action tracks; governance milestones; cross-sectoral coordination indicators; antimicrobial resistance targets; zoonotic disease preparedness metrics
Outcomes reported
The plan sets out a coordinated action framework across human, animal, plant and environmental health sectors, identifying priority areas including antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic diseases, food safety, and ecosystem health. It proposes governance structures, investment priorities, and monitoring mechanisms for implementation across member states.
