Biomanufacturing and One Health

Abstract

At a time when the scope of One Health is expanding, the term “biomanufacturing” has taken on new significance as a new route to more sustainable manufacturing in the face of the current overwhelming reliance on fossil resources for fuel, energy, and materials. This article looks at how One Health and biomanufacturing interact from policy, technical, and societal viewpoints. The biofoundry is explored as a missing link in the design phase of biomanufacturing and examples are given where the potential of biofoundries can be enhanced in selected environmental and human health applications.
