By: Tristan Colonius, DVM, MPA, DACVPM, Chief Veterinary Officer & Deputy Director for Science Policy at FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine

On Global One Health Day, we find ourselves at a time where modern technology creates possibilities we could only have dreamed of just a few years ago. Reflecting on the challenges of the pandemic, increasing temperatures across the world, disruptions in global supply chains and commerce, and the ever-present threat of zoonotic disease, it’s more important than ever that CVM embrace innovation. This is the key to supporting a more resilient and robust food production system, helping ensure food-producing animals and their environments are healthier and hardier, and addressing increasing animal health challenges such as zoonotic and animal infectious disease threats.
