Moving health to the heart of agri-food policies; mitigating risk from our food systems 2020-08-30 .txt text/plain 6361 276 42 Lack of genetic diversity has become commonplace in our global food systems, within both livestock and crop production (Bennett et al., 2018; Khoury et al., 2014) , and is a risk factor for heightened susceptibility to outbreaks of plant and animal disease. Zoonotic and non-zoonotic disease outbreaks and our responses to the presence or risk of these pathogens can destabilize food systems, leading to increased food insecurity and downstream health and economic effects. Evidence-based health-agri-food policies that support access and uptake of healthy diet and exercise, particularly in communities with high inequality, can help reverse the growing trend towards obesity and minimize morbidity and mortality from infectious disease. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the international community had been aware of the increasing threat from emerging zoonotic pathogens, the 'dual burden' imposed by endemic zoonoses on livestock productivity and human health, the biological and chemical hazards present in our food and the looming spectre of a post-antibiotic world. ./cache/cord-323703-fsj736dg.txt ./txt/cord-323703-fsj736dg.txt
