Journal Article
Roll-out of the Global Burden of Animal Diseases programme
2021
Overview
With continuing population growth and rising demand for food, livestock and aquaculture are integral to improving food and nutrition security, health, and livelihoods.1 These positive contributions are being undermined, however, by the negative effects of livestock production and consumption on society and the environment—eg, production of greenhouse gases, environmental degradation,2 emergence of zoonotic diseases,3 and antimicrobial resistance.4 Furthermore, excessive consumption of some livestock products is linked to risk of non-communicable diseases.5 There is little evidence available for addressing these concerns through improving livestock production and animal health systems, and no systematic approach to understanding global livestock populations and the resources invested in animals by societies globally. In 2018, the Global Burden of Animal Diseases (GBADs) programme was launched to address these vital issues.6 Since that time, we have made progress in developing a comprehensive framework for characterising livestock populations and assessing the value invested in livestock, as well as a system to capture net losses in production and societal expenditure on animal health issues (figure). There is an urgent need to develop intelligence systems able to improve decision making for people managing livestock to limit the environmental consequences and public health risks related to livestock production and consumption, while also helping people across the world access high-quality protein and micronutrients, produced in a humane way.
