Veterinary science for healthy and sustainable animal-source food systems: A One Health agenda for education and research

Abstract

Livestock and poultry sit at the centre of Bangladesh's food and nutrition security, livelihoods and disease landscape, making veterinary science a pivotal discipline for translating research into sustainable development. Human–animal relationships have evolved over millennia, with domestic animals contributing to nutrition, livelihoods, social cohesion and ecosystem services in every income setting. Realising these benefits while managing the risks that dense human–animal interfaces create requires veterinary curricula and research agendas that are simultaneously grounded in local realities and connected to global One Health knowledge networks.
