One Health is an initiative that looks at how people, animals and the environment interact, and the health impacts that each has on the others. In this webinar, researcher Dr. Baljit Singh looks at how, through its cross-disciplinary approach, One Health could improve our understanding of complex problems such as food safety, water safety, infection and disease transmission.
