One Health FIELD Network
Description
The One Health FIELD Network for Fragile and Conflict Affected States was launched in 2019 by Professor Lisa Boden, with the aim of bringing together diverse, multidisciplinary expertise to increase food system resilience and support both short and long-term sustainable development in fragile and complex contexts.
As well as recognising the importance of transdisciplinary work, the Network aims to build on past and current local experiences of food security, to help build a sustainable food future that is specific to the affected region. In addition, the Network seeks to mobilise knowledge within both a local and global network of researchers, practitioners and decision-makers to ensure a successful transition away from humanitarian provision of short-term food supplies and agricultural inputs towards long-term contingency planning for food security and nutrition in Fragile and Conflict Affected States.
Its aim is to identify and develop the tools, expertise and networks necessary for a food secure future in Fragile and Conflict Affected States. The Network has started with a series of projects in Syria and across the Middle East aligned with its six major research themes, which include: Partnerships; Food Security and Safety; Gender Equality; Natural Resources, Water and the Environment; Health and Wellbeing; and Livelihoods and Labour.
