The One Welfare framework recognizes the interconnections between human wellbeing and animal welfare, with improvements in one often benefiting the other.
The One Welfare framework offers a powerful reframing of animal welfare advocacy: improving animal welfare often simultaneously improves human welfare. Farmer mental health improves when their animals are healthier and management is less demanding. Child protection and animal welfare interventions are effective when delivered together. Working animal health improves family livelihoods. These connections make animal welfare advocacy more politically tractable and create natural alliances with human welfare organizations.
