The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) unveiled a series of new initiatives aimed at strengthening animal health and the sustainability of the livestock sector, following discussions at its second Global Conference on Sustainable Livestock Transformation.
Among the key initiatives, FAO will launch two new Global Hubs: the One Health Knowledge and Intelligence Hub, and the Sustainable Livestock Transformation Innovation Hub.
FAO will also introduce the Global Challenge Programme for Transboundary Animal Diseases – a bold new business model to protect animal health, support livestock production, and safeguard livelihoods worldwide.
A network of FAO Reference Centres for Animal Feed will be established to unlock the full potential of the animal feed sector, particularly in developing countries.
And in 2026, FAO will host the first-ever Global Conference on One Health in Agrifood Systems to showcase how One Health connects animal, human, plant, soil, environmental health, food safety, and nutrition.
