Abstract

In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly agreed upon 17 global Sustainable Development Goals. The first of these is: 'End poverty in all its forms everywhere'. The second is to: 'End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture'. Food safety is a global priority, since every global citizen has the right to have access to safe and nutritious food. Safe food contributes to people's health and productivity, as well as providing a strong foundation for development and poverty alleviation. Every year, numerous people are affected by foodborne illnesses in developed countries, while widespread illness is even more likely in developing countries. Among society's major concerns are the health risks posed by microbial pathogens and chemicals in food. A One Health approach is crucial to achieving the global goal of food safety and security for all and will improve health outcomes for every citizen.
