The International Conference on Animal Health Surveillance (ICAHS) and The International Society for Economics and Social Sciences of Animal Health (ISESSAH) provide an opportunity for learning and sharing between academic researchers, representatives of the food supply chain, authorities, as well as people working for international organizations within food safety and food security, and animal health from all over the world. Although the joint conference planned in May 2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors of research which were selected to be part of the joint ICAHS4/ISESSAH conference were invited to submit their work to this Research Topic.
