One Health - A holistic approach to metropolitan regions Part 2

Using the One Health approach, the research college, led by ZEF at the University of Bonn, is looking at urban food systems: on the one hand, at the "supply of healthy food from sustainable production" and, on the other hand, at the "spread and transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens" through food chains. Furthermore, health-related aspects of urban transformation are highlighted, which fall into the areas of "health and well-being" and "sustainable cities". In addition, the One Health approach itself and its implementation in different metropolitan regions will be examined.

From the holistic One Health perspective, we will examine the transformation of health-related systems in human, animal, and environmental health in the context of urban agricultural production and urban planning elements in North Rhine-Westphalia and metropolitan regions in developing and emerging countries.
