In the ongoing global economic recovery post-COVID-19, the looming threat of another pandemic is underscored by the accelerating pace of emerging infectious diseases. In Central Asia, balancing risks and benefits in animal product production necessitates addressing concerns about zoonotic diseases and food safety. Leveraging the region's strong foundation for One Health collaboration is crucial for strengthening the food system, enhancing productivity, and ensuring industry sustainability. The increasing momentum for regional cooperation recognizes the shared challenges of pandemics, zoonotic diseases, climate change, and water stress, emphasizing the need for a unified approach- a One Health Approach.
