Introduction

Animal Production and Planetary Health (APPH) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scientific understanding and innovative practices at the intersection of livestock production, environmental sustainability, and global health. As the world faces accelerating challenges—climate change, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity, zoonotic diseases, and food system disruption—the role of animal production must evolve toward models that protect both human well-being and ecosystem integrity.

APPH provides a platform for interdisciplinary research spanning animal science, ecology, climate science, public health, veterinary medicine, agricultural engineering, socioeconomics, and policy. The journal highlights solutions that enhance productivity while minimizing environmental footprints, safeguarding natural resources, and promoting ethical, resilient, and climate-smart livestock systems.

By fostering collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry innovators, APPH aims to contribute to a sustainable future where animal production and planetary health progress together.
