SYNOPSIS: Although we sometimes forget it, human beings do not live alone on the planet. Human health is linked to the health of other living beings and the health of the environment where all live in, as identified by the One Health concept. One Health, a contribution from the University is a book written by professors and researchers from the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS) of the University of Porto to the civil society, to bring this concept to many audiences. In this book, you can read several texts that present the One Health approach through situations close to all of us in order to promote understanding of it. If we recognize that the well-being of all living beings (and ours too) depends on an integrative, transdisciplinary approach and sustainable decision-making, then we can truly build a healthier future.
