 WVA President Dr Leon Russell says that the 2006 World Food Day theme, “Investing in agriculture for food safety”, is an obligation and a major part of the mission of the World Veterinary Association.
The WVA helps to facilitate food security through the promotion of:
1) animal health and the resulting increase in the supply of foods of animal origin;
2) supporting human well-being through effective veterinary activities in food safety; and
3) by the protection and sustainability of the environment.
"The WVA strives to contribute to the protection and sustainability of global food security through the activities of its national veterinary organisation members from over 80 countries. With the WVA membership working together through the support of better education and health, we can help our veterinary colleagues in the developing countries that are facing food security problems." said President Russell.
