The One Health Conference track emphasizes how integrated, multidisciplinary approaches are essential for building sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems that ensure global health and food security. As the premier one health conference dedicated specifically to agriculture, EPA 2026 goes beyond traditional zoonotic disease focus to explore the entire agrifood value chain. Presentations and talks will examine critical issues such as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) stewardship, pandemic preparedness, climate change impacts on environmental health, and the integration of precision technologies in sustainable livestock and aquaculture production. This cross-pollination of ideas creates unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration that extends well beyond the five days in Calgary.
