Breaking Silos: Integrating Human, Animal, and Environmental Health for Global Pandemic Resilience and Food Security
In an era marked by emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, environmental degradation, climate change, and increasing threats to global food systems, the need for integrated and collaborative approaches to health has never been more urgent. The interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health demands a unified response that transcends disciplinary boundaries and institutional silos. Embracing the One Health approach is essential to building resilient societies capable of addressing complex health challenges in an increasingly uncertain world.
The International Conference on One Health Synergy (ICOHS) 2026 serves as a premier international platform that brings together academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, students, and stakeholders from diverse disciplines to exchange knowledge, share scientific innovations, and foster collaborative solutions for global health and food security challenges. Under the theme “Breaking Silos: Integrating Human, Animal, and Environmental Health for Global Pandemic Resilience and Food Security,” ICOHS 2026 seeks to strengthen interdisciplinary partnerships and promote evidence-based strategies that support sustainable development and societal well-being.
