Learning about One Health can: 

• Prevent outbreaks of zoonotic disease in animals and people
• Improve food safety and security
• Reduce antibimicrobial-resistant infections and improve human and animal health
• Protect global health security
• Protect biodiversity and conservation

Children & teens will learn age-appropriate lessons about their microbial bodies and the microbial world in which they live.

Many different diseases can be spread by airborne pathogens. Learning how to protect against them is important for childrens' health and the health of their communities.

Children will learn how exercise and personal hygiene (i.e. hand washing, bathing, and brushing teeth) will help them to stay healthy and prevent the spread of germs.

Healthy eating in childhood and adolescence is important for proper growth and development and to prevent various health conditions. Children can learn from planting and growing things in a community garden:

• Responsibility– from caring for plants
• Understanding– as they learn about cause and effect 
• Self-confidence – from achieving their goals and enjoying the food they have grown!

Teaching children about nature and our climate from a young age helps them develop a sense of responsibility and passion for the world around them. It lays the groundwork growing children will need to understand the scientific issues, like climate change, that will affect them throughout their lives, and how they themselves may effect change thru climate action.
