Join us for One Health Days 2026

SLU Future One Health brings together researchers from SLU to share insights, foster dialogue and build collaborations across scientific boundaries.

Why focus on One Health?

The One Health approach focuses on the interface between animal-, human-, plant- and ecosystem health. A collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, cutting across these boundaries, is needed to understand complex health challenges.

Definition of One Health

One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent. The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate change, and contributing to sustainable development.
