Have you ever heard about the term "One Health"? As one of the key strategies of the swine industry, the "One Health Approach" offers a broad, integrative framework for dealing with complex issues that intersect numerous fields, enhancing human and animal health, and promoting environmental stability. In today's episode, I talk to Dr. Heather Fowler, the director of producer and public health for the National Pork Board.
