RESEARCH FOCUS: Former Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman discusses how COVID reveals the need for additional zoonotic research. Former Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman urges greater focus on research to protect against the next pandemic. In the short term, COVID has been nothing short of a disaster for the country and for agriculture and the food supply. While scientists are working to examine its origins, causes and impacts on human and animal health, research into zoonotic diseases must be a much higher short-term priority, according to former Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman. During a Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on agricultural research, Glickman testified that COVID is another example of an animal disease that jumped to the human side. He says, “As we look at viral-related diseases, we need to dramatically increase the focus on this. This is going to happen again and again.”
