CABI Publishing One Welfare: A Framework to Improve Animal
Book SynopsisContemporary and thought-provoking, this book provides a definition of the concept of One Welfare: the interconnection between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment. The book establishes a conceptual framework, in five sections, resulting from a three month global consultation on a draft proposal comprising nine areas. The book contains: - A one welfare approach which complements and extends the existing one health approach - A range of prestigious contributions from key opinion leaders in the field of animal welfare which help to define the framework - A platform for the development of more collaborative and integrated animal welfare standards and policies One Welfare complements the One Health and Eco Health approaches, enabling full integration of animal welfare within other disciplines; a much needed tool to help improve animal welfare, human wellbeing and environmental components and support worldwide sustainable development goals. Integrating this concept into existing projects could help to foster collaboration to improve human and animal welfare globally. This text is of interest to those working in the fields of animal and human welfare, sustainability and conservation, international development and to all those keen to extend the one health approach to animal welfare and human wellbeing.Table of ContentsSection 1: The Connections Between Animal and Human Abuse and Neglect 1.1: The Connections between Animal and Human Abuse and Neglect in Practice Section 2: The Social Implications of Improved Animal Welfare 2.1: Companion Animal Welfare 2.2: Working Animals and Livestock Supporting Livelihoods 2.3: Natural Disasters and War 2.4: Animal Welfare and Crime 2.5: Dealing with the Social Implications of Improved Animal Welfare in Practice Section 3: Animal Health and Welfare, Human Well-being, Food Security and Sustainability 3.1: Animal Welfare and Food Safety 3.2: Improved Animal Welfare and Farmer Well-being 3.3: Animal Health and Welfare, Environmental Protection, Food Security and Sustainability 3.4: One Welfare within Protections Systems in Practice Section 4: Assisted Interventions Involving Animals, Humans and the Environment 4.1: Interactions between Humans, Animals and the Environment 4.2: Benefits of the Human–Animal Bond (HAB) 4.3: Assisted Interventions Involving Animals, Humans and the Environment in Practice Section 5: Sustainability: Connections Between Biodiversity, the Environment, Animal Welfare and Human Well-being 5.1: Interaction Between Diverse Factors 5.2: Conservation and Animal Welfare 5.3: Air, Land, Water, Climate Change and One Welfare 5.4: Biodiversity, the Environment, Animal Welfare and Human Well-being in Practice
