We need to learn how to engage in better surveillance and monitoring of animal diseases, how to conduct better vaccination and food safety programs, and we need to better engage in the broad array of issues that arise out of the interactions between people and animals, such as antimicrobial resistance, foodborne diseases and poor animal health.
