| description | As we adopt a One Health philosophy to how we view the welfare of animals, specifically those housed in zoos and used in farming or production, our global views have undergone a significant change. Zoos have shifted their prime focus from entertainment to conservation of species, educating the public, and working to improve upon the animals’ welfare. Animal production farms, particularly in developing countries, can be large operations producing sustainable protein products for a nation, or may be backyard farms supporting local families; both provide sources of income and feed a continuously increasing human population. However, these forms of farming may complicate or even disregard aspects of animal welfare, biosecurity, and our ecological footprint. Issues related to sustaining the human population while providing for zoo and production animals are multifaceted and often at odds, hence a worldwide shift in our mindset has become imperative. Integrating the One Health initiative into food production has been a great first step. In this book, we explore these varied facets as we contemplate a quest for animal welfare, from zoo to farm. |
