Indian Journal of Animal Health Articles

Editorial

With the increasing gross income, there is a continuous growth of consumers for animal- origin foods like dairy, eggs, meat, fish, or their products. Increasing income relates not only to well-being, but also to a better education level, which can identify the nutritional superiority of animal-origin foods over their vegetable counterparts, required for physical and cognitive development. Increasing production of animal-origin foods to cater to this growing demand may occur at the cost of natural resources and environmental health. Protecting environmental health and the resources through environmental stewardship requires a One Health approach. One Health is a holistic, cross-sectoral approach under a big umbrella, which offers the protection of human health along with the health of plants, livestock, and the ecosystem. If the ecosphere can be maintained with proper care and nourishment of the components, then only the health of humans can be protected. This interdisciplinary effort thus converts the human ‘egocentric’ approach into ‘ecocentric’ to make the habitat sustainable. The One Health approach focuses on improving the safety, quality, and sustainability of animal-origin foods through intersectoral collaboration.

The approach involves tackling major challenges like microbial and chemical contamination, emerging and re-emerging diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food authenticity, traceability, and smart packaging to ensure food safety, security, and public health. Under this framework, food safety, quality, and innovations are not considered as individual pillars but as an integrated network. Updated knowledge on this important issue is required to achieve sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems that safeguard the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. Indian Journal of Animal Health has taken the responsibility to publish the special issue on ‘Food of Animal Origin: Safety, Quality, and Innovation for One Health’. The issue consists of review / research articles / short communications from renowned scientific scholars and academicians from Institutes of national repute, Central and State Agricultural / Veterinary Universities. The special issue is an updated compilation of information with future trends of research to benefit the post-graduate/PhD scholars, researchers, professionals, and policy makers.
