6. What ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE ONE WELFARE CONCEPT?
The term "One Welfare" serves to highlight the interconnections between animal welfare, human wellbeing and their physical and social environment.
It fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to improve human and animal welfare internationally. One Welfare also helps to promote key global objectives such as supporting food security, sustainability, reducing human suffering and improving productivity within the farming sector through a better understanding of the value of high welfare standards.
One Welfare extends the approach of (and partially overlaps) the One Health theme used for human and animal health. A One Welfare approach promotes the direct and indirect links of animal welfare to human welfare and environmentally friendly animal-keeping systems. One Welfare as a complement to One Health helps encompass a fully comprehensive / holistic approach that covers both health and welfare.
