00:00 MSD Animal Health has launched the first white book in Italy dedicated to One Health, underlining
00:07 the interconnection between human, animal and environmental well-being. The multidisciplinary
00:15 project One Health - Sustainability, Well-being and Prevention has involved journalists,
00:20 university professors and experts in the sector, facing the need for an integrated approach
00:25 for overall well-being.
00:26 "One Health means the well-being and health of animals, of people, with great respect
00:33 for the environment. So what we are trying to do today is to put everything in order,
00:38 so that there is an extremely collaborative, factual and concrete approach to reach an
00:43 approach that is good for people, animals and the environment."
00:47 The white book highlights the lack of awareness of the circularity of well-being between human,
00:52 animal and environment. 75% of consumers admit not knowing the One Health approach, highlighting
00:59 the need for correct information conveyed by experts. The white book offers practical
01:04 strategies for sector operators, promoting a sustainable future through approaches that
01:09 embrace animal well-being, human health and ecosystem prosperity.
01:14 "One Health means collaboration, collaboration between different experiences, but which necessarily
01:20 must complement each other with different objectives, because as an objective there is
01:26 human health, but there is also the food chain, there is also the conservation of the environment.
01:34 So there are complementary skills, complementary experiences that must be discussed, always
01:42 to guarantee the health of citizens."
01:44 Through sustainable innovation and responsible resource management, the white book suggests
01:49 that the road to a better future for everyone can be open. The document provides a complete
01:55 overview of the challenges and opportunities in the sustainability and well-being of animals,
02:00 fighting fake news and promoting the positive impact on the environment, animal health and
02:05 public health.
02:06 "There is still a lot to do, we must work to contribute to raising the culture of prevention,
02:14 which is the essential element to have an even safer agri-food system. Italy is already
02:24 at the top in Europe and in the world in terms of food security, but it is right to continue
02:30 to discuss it, also because there are unfortunately important diseases such as PSA that threaten
02:36 our agri-food system."
02:39 The sensitivity towards this approach, more attentive to the issues of food health security,
02:44 is increasing, said the Honourable Raffaele Nevi, Secretary of the 13th Agricultural
02:49 Commission of the House of Representatives, who intervened at the presentation.
