通識沙龍 2020-21「時代的抉擇」II
GE Salon 2020-21 Choices of the Times II
When and where we are born is not given to us to choose. If the lucky ones can select their favourite place to live, no one can escape their time. What, however, we can choose is how we live in our time. What we do here and now for us and for others is in our hands. To neglect such possibility is to evade a responsibility.
The theme of this year GE Salon is “Choices of the Times”. Through lectures and films on specific issues in history, politics, education, etc... together we will reflect, struggle and try to arrive at choices of the times.

About the Talk
Is Food really Safe in the EU, and do consumers perceive it to be Safe?
The outbreaks of SARS and avian influenza, antimicrobial resistance and Bovine Spon-giform Encephalopathy (BSE) highlighted the need to mitigate emerging health risks using a One Health approach, as these are multifactorial diseases involving different disciplines and thus different perspectives.
During the 21st century, challenging global health threats have emerged, linked to zoonotic and (re)emerging infectious diseases (e.g. COVID-19, Ebola, MERS), climate change and environmental sustainability. These health threats are complex and cannot be solved by one sector alone. A comprehensive strategy and transdisciplinary collaboration on all aspects of health for people, animals and the environment is required, also referred to as the One Health approach.
