Strategic Direction

Guiding Principles

Overlaying all priorities for our organization are two key principles; the lenses through which we view all activities in the organization:

1. AHC is a leader in One Health and One Welfare.  These two concepts involve the critical intersection of animals, people, and the environment, and underscore our belief in continual improvement of health and welfare of animals, people, and the environment.
2. AHC is an agency of communication and integrity.  We are leaders, convenors, facilitators, and collaborators for the farmed animal sector. This means identifying important issues across the sector, bringing together stakeholders to solve those issues, and communicating to the broader community.
