ONE HEALTH APPROACHES TO SUPPORT AGROECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF PERI-URBAN FARMING  https://urbane-project.eu/wp-urbane/ 

DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES AND THE URBANE DSS

The European Union funded project will develop URBANE novel tools and the engagement of local knowledge to drive and support decision making and achieve high impacts. URBANE is designed to build on local knowledge, supported by new technologies and best practices that have been applied in European regions where agroecology is already used for intensified, market-oriented production fields. The URBANE Decision Support Systems (DSS) is planned to be delivered in two versions: a) for farmers in the form of a friendly application and b) for authorities providing information on the potential dangers and the environmental and crop yield impact of the application of agroecological farming practices.

WHO WE ARE

The Centre for Control and Prevention of Zoonoses (CCPZ) is an international hub for training, research and services in the surveillance of human-animal diseases in West Africa. CCPZ trains people to identify the causal agents, associated risk factors, mapping of the space and time distribution pattern of the problem, and promotes the containment of diseases at the human-animal-environment interface. CCPZ training curricula are at the levels of certificate of participation, Master of Science in Epizootiology (with specialty in spatial and spatio-temporal modeling; or serological and molecular epizootiology) and Doctor of the Philosophy. CCPZ’s mission is to train and support critical mass of highly skilled personnel in surveillance, control and prevention of emerging, endemic and neglected human-animal diseases in West Africa.
