The One Health Center of Excellence at the University of Florida is powering the Circular Health Initiative. This initiative aims to create an open network of international research focusing on co-advancing the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment as one system. The main focus is to explore new data driven approaches to funnel research towards the convergence of health into a circular system.
The longer-term goal is to empower a community of Circular Health international scholars to develop novel research pathways towards attaining the UN sustainable development goals.

What is the difference between One Health & Circular Health?
One Health recognizes the interconnections and interdependencies of the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment.
The COVID-19 pandemic has urged governments and policymakers to include the One Health approach as one of the fundamental pillars for post-pandemic resilience and for the safeguard of our planet. Our planet is a closed system in which resources are limited and thus a rebalanced and regenerative policy is critical to implement and operationalize novel policies that embrace this vision within the framework of the SDGs.
An integrated approach to promoting the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment together is the beating heart of a broader approach to health which requires an expanded multidisciplinary convergence effort encompassing economic and financial, technological, societal and cultural, and international policies around one goal, which is the co-advancement of the health as a system in a circular manner. This is Circular Health.
