«ЕдиноеЗдоровье» – не выбор, а необходимость». @FAOADG_ECA Виорел Гуцу участвовал в передаче председательства в Региональном координационном механизме #ЕдиноеЗдоровье от @FAO к @WHO в Астане, продвигая сотрудничество в интересах здоровья людей, животных и окружающей среды.

In Astana, on behalf of WHO/Europe, I accepted from Viorel Gutu of FAO the role of Chair of the Regional Quadripartite mechanism for Europe and Central Asia. The name of this mechanism may sound technical, but its mission is very important. Together, @WHO, @FAO, @WOAH and @UNEP help countries tackle health risks that sit at the intersection of people, animals, plants and the environment — the heart of the #OneHealth approach. The need for this work is hard to ignore: 75% of new and emerging human diseases come from animals, causing 2.7 million deaths each year; over 23 million people fall ill annually from unsafe food; and extreme heat, wildfires and vector-borne diseases are adding new pressure, especially on the most vulnerable. Resources may be tighter, but our purpose is not. Working closely with my fellow regional directors - @ViorelGutu (FAO), @BudimirPlavsic (WOAH) and @KreilhuberA (UNEP) - we will continue supporting Member States with practical tools, evidence-based policymaking, and coordinated action across sectors.

#OneHealth connects us all: people, animals, plants, & ecosystems. It is essential to sustainably transform our agrifood systems. We must keep working to prevent diseases that spread between animals & humans, tackle #AMR, ensure food safety, & protect our planet. #WorldHealthDay

Future of #OneHealth must place youth at centre of the solution to drive the change we urgently need. Youth can drive action through innovation, advocacy, awareness raising & collaboration to ensure a healthier, sustainable & equitable future for all. #OneHealthSummit #4Betters

On #WomensDay & every day, we recognize women farmers as powerful agents of change in agrifood systems. Let’s use #YearOfTheWomanFarmer to advance their rights, especially access to land, to ensure right to women’s farms & equal opportunities for all. #4Betters #LeaveNoOneBehind

Food security is climate security. We must boost resilience, reduce emissions and transform our agrifood systems. @FAO will continue supporting Members with data, innovation and partnerships to scale up #ClimateAction and nourish a growing population. #4Betters

Honoured to meet HE President Serdar Berdimuhamedow. @FAO is committed to keep supporting Turkmenistan in transforming its agrifood systems, including through leveraging science & innovation, sustainable use of natural resources & strengthening animal health to achieve #4Betters.

In 2026, join @FAO in marking #YearOfTheWomanFarmer, honouring the women who grow our foods, support our families & sustain our communities. We must close gender gaps in land, pay & opportunity so every woman farmer can thrive and help transform our agrifood systems. #IYWF2026

As @FAO marks 80 years of advancing better food for all, we look back at the landmark achievements that shaped this eight-decade journey. Download your copy now! 👇 doi.org/10.4060/cd7132… #FAO80

In Budapest, we planted 80 trees to mark #FAO80, strengthening urban forests that help cities breathe and connect citizens. These green lungs support health, biodiversity and resilience. Protecting and investing in them is essential for #GreenCities and delivering the #SDGs.

RT @Turkic_States: The Secretary General of the Organization of Turkic States (#OTS) H.E. Ambassador @KubanOmurali, held a working meeting…

Over 80% of the world’s food comes from family farmers who depend on #HealthySoils. Soils in rural areas remain essential to feed urban populations, sustain farmers’ livelihoods and strengthen global food security. #WorldSoilDay #GreenCities

At #CL179 I urged members to reframe today's #FoodSecurity challenges as opportunities: moving from crisis response to resilience building, from input-intensive to knowledge-intensive agrifood systems, from silos to synergies, from global commitment to localized action. #4Betters

Growing more with less is the biggest challenge of our times, but solutions exist. The future of food security depends on how we manage land, soil, & water today. We need coherent policies, data, innovation, investments & know-how to sustainably produce more & better. #SOLAW2025

Every child, everywhere, every day, has the right to nutritious and healthy foods. At @FAO we work tirelessly to ensure no child is left behind. Thanks to our Goodwill Ambassadors @Globies for their unwavering support in this mission. #4Betters #WorldChildrensDay

As we mark #WorldFoodDay and celebrate 80 years of @FAO, we honour eight decades partnering with countries and communities to keep food, agriculture and rural development at the heart of peace and prosperity. Together, we look ahead to a future where no one is left behind. #FAO80

This #WorldFoodDay marks @FAO's 80th anniversary. #BetterTogether, in 8 decades, we have reached many historic milestones. Let's continue working #HandInHand to secure a future with food, dignity & hope for all, leaving no one behind. #4Betters #FAO80

At #Seeds2Foods, leaders & experts highlighted how conserving plant genetic resources is key to resilient & sustainable agrifood systems. With @PlantTreaty, @CropTrust, @NordGen, @GlobalSeedVault & Norway’s Ministry of Agriculture and Food global cooperation is key. 🌱 🌐

Proud to watch this powerful display celebrating #FAO80 and our host country’s close collaboration over the years. Thank you @_Carabinieri_ for this show of friendship and Italy for its longstanding support to our mission for a food secure world. #4Betters #WorldFoodDay
