About

One Health is a scientific perspective that considers human, animal and environmental health as an integrated whole. The ultimate goal is to limit disease and maximize health by considering the numerous interactions within the human, animal and environmental triad. One Health brings together experts from a wide variety of fields to enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration in order to solve some of the world’s most pressing health-related problems.  

Agriculture can be considered the heart of One Health as it represents the intersection of animal health, human health and environmental health. The mission of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources is to feed the world and protect the planet; these goals can only be accomplished with a collaborative, interdisciplinary and comprehensive scientific approach. Understanding the interconnectedness that exists within the living world, we can feed a growing human population while protecting the natural world at the same time.
