Recent large-scale pandemics such as the covid19, H1N1, Swine flu, Ebola and the
Nipah virus, which impacted human health and livelihoods, have come about due to
inadequate food systems safeguards to detect, trace and eliminate threats arising
from zoonotic diseases. Such diseases are transmitted to humans through their
interaction with animals in the food value chain including through the
consumption of bush meat. Climate change has also facilitated the emergence of
new zoonotic diseases. The lack of adequately enforced food-safety standards in
managed agricultural production systems creates the necessary conditions for
diseases to mutate into highly contagious strains. The lack of food safety
measures in handling, packaging and sales of food increases risks of
cross-species contamination. Finally, increasing anti-microbial resistance,
combined with rapid urbanization and global interconnectedness allows diseases to
spread rapidly among humans. Thus, part of the reconstruction efforts, post
covid19, should include prioritizing proactive investments in food safety. The
key to stave off another such pandemic lies in integrating one-health knowledge
on zoonotic diseases along with food safety measures along the food value chain.
Refocusing policy priorities from disease control to prevention will improve
international coordination efforts in pandemic prevention. Implementing such
proactive actions will cost a very small fraction of the reconstruction budgets.
However, the expected benefits of the food-safety approach will include
preventing global economic losses due to pandemics.
