The ONE H Congress 2026 is made possible through the collaboration of three leading institutions in animal, human, and environmental health.
Together, they embody the One Health approach, combining expertise, innovation, and commitment to address global health challenges.
to drive innovation and collaboration through the One Health approach.
As a scientific expert appraisal agency, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) provides the scientific guidelines needed to protect humans from health risks associated with food, the environment and the workplace, as well as to prevent risks to animal and plant health. It monitors and assesses these health risks, and devotes research activities to them. It operates within an exacting ethical framework and through dialogue with stakeholders. It therefore helps advance scientific knowledge to support public decision-makers – and more broadly anyone involved in these risks – including during health crises.
ANSES is accountable to the French Ministries of Health, Agriculture, the Environment, Labour and Consumer Affairs. The Agency draws on the expertise of its scientists and some 800 external experts that it mobilises in its expert groups. It also has a network of nine reference and research laboratories spread over 16 geographical sites in France that have achieved European and international recognition in their areas of competence.
ANSES is the French « One Health agency ».
All key questions that society has to deal with transit through our everyday work:
« Are the water we drink and the food we eat safe? How does climate change impact our health? How should we use pesticides in agriculture? Is there a risk of a new pandemic? »
Permanent multidisciplinary challenges feed the mind and stimulate the ideation of solutions that we develop with national and international partners.
Anne-Françoise Berthon
International Scientific Council & One Health Mission Officer | ANSES
ANSES’s missions encompass
animal and plant health,
food safety, and
environmental risks.
The One Health approach is therefore an integral part of its work.
In order to break down scientific barriers to health approaches, the scientists working at the Agency and those consulted for its expert committees are drawn from a
wide range of backgrounds.
Many of the themes covered by the Agency, and many of the partnerships promoted by ANSES involve
One Health. They include:
Applying the One Health approach requires the use of
big data: ANSES has therefore launched several projects to cross-reference data collected on
human and animal health and on the
environment.
