In this region — a timeless bridge between continents — that spirit of integration lives on.

Let it guide the transformation of the heart of Asia! 💪

A thousand years ago, Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn Sina al-Bukhari) — born in today’s Uzbekistan — saw the body and environment as one system.
Long before hashtags, he was already practising #OneHealth.

The challenges in Central Asia mirror many we face in Europe — across food systems, ecosystems, and human, animal & plant health.
At @efsa.europa.eu , we share that same commitment to #OneHealth. 🌿

Honoured to join the opening of the Regional Conference on One Health for Pandemic Prevention, Food Systems Resilience & Ecosystem Health in Central Asia with reflections on the future of this transformative approach.

At #OHHLEP, we stay committed to helping turn One Health from words into action.

Grateful for the support of the Governo Regional da Madeira and Regional Secretary Micaela Fonseca de Freitas.

Let’s keep pushing to protect science, share facts (not fiction), and work together for safer food + a healthier planet 💪

Huge thanks to my EFSA colleague Hans Steinkellner for presenting the updated arsenic risk assessment 🙌 and to many others who shared work on microplastics, heavy metals, mycotoxins, the microbiome, and ciguatoxin — so relevant for Madeira.

Not a bad birthday at all 💡 Together we are stronger.

But today we also launched @efsa.europa.eu’s 2025 Eurobarometer 🚀🥳
More Europeans now understand how food safety works in the EU. Trust = our strongest currency. In times of misinformation, we scientists must work harder to deliver #facts, not #fiction. EFSA is strongly committed to that mission!

We had two days of great discussions on topics like #NAMs, #microbiome, and #omics.

This partnership is crucial as we continue to build new solutions for our joint mission in #foodsafety and #sustainable #foodsystems. Together, we are stronger. #OneHealth #ScienceIsCool 💪🇺🇸🇪🇺

The summit was a great platform to discuss solutions. From innovators to consumers, we all agree Europe is uniquely positioned to lead. By capitalizing on our unique resources, we can ensure safe food for all.

Innovation is key 🗝️ Let's team up 🤝Together, we are stronger 💪

Innovations in our food systems have shaped human progress for centuries, improving health and well-being. But the journey isn't over. Future challenges demand even more ingenuity. 🍲🧠 #FoodSystems #Innovation #FoodSafety #EU2025DK

3️⃣ 💶Funding: Long-term funding is needed to tackle scientific and administrative bottlenecks.
4️⃣ 📑Regulations: Frameworks need to be more flexible for quicker, transparent interactions.
5️⃣ 📣Misinformation: Consumers need facts, not fiction.

To get there, we face challenges we must address:

1️⃣ 🔬Science Gaps: Making timely conclusions on new products is difficult without complete scientific knowledge.
2️⃣ 👩‍🔬Lack of Experts: We need more scientists across Europe to speed up risk assessments.
