1. Global Scientific Community

We will build an active and inclusive international community of scientists, educators, students, professionals and institutions.

Our priorities are to:

• Expand our international membership.
• Strengthen interaction among members.
• Support students and early-career researchers.
• Develop national and regional SAFE chapters.
• Recognize scientific and professional excellence.
• Create opportunities for collaboration, leadership and networking.

2. Research and Innovation

SAFE will encourage interdisciplinary research addressing the interconnected challenges facing people, agriculture, food systems, ecosystems and the environment.

Key areas include:

• Sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture.
• Food security and nutrition.
• Soil, water and environmental health.
• Sustainable food systems.
• Renewable and sustainable energy.
• Climate change and resilience.
• Biodiversity and ecosystem health.
• One Health.
• Emerging technologies and scientific innovation.

3. Scientific Publishing

SAFE will promote high-quality, ethical and accessible scientific communication through journals, reports, scientific reviews and other publications.

Through the SAFE Journal of One Health and future publishing activities, we aim to promote:

• Rigorous peer review.
• Research integrity.
• Interdisciplinary science.
• Opportunities for emerging researchers.
• Responsible scientific communication.
• Wider access to scientific knowledge.

4. Education and Capacity Building

Developing scientific skills and research capacity is central to SAFE's mission.
