    The Reduce the Need for Antimicrobials for Sustainable Agrifood Systems Transformation (RENOFARM) initiative, officially launched on April 25-26, 2024, is a ten-year global programme and FAO’s response to the aforementioned high-level recommendations and requests. It aims to support countries in reducing the need for antimicrobials in their agrifood systems in a substantial, proportionate and sustainable manner, nonetheless supporting responsible and prudent use of antimicrobials when they are needed while also maintaining or enhancing productivity. The initiative is deeply rooted in FAO’s Action Plan on AMR (2021-2025). It is guided by the broader One Health approach and is also embedded in the FAO Priority Programme Area on One Health, the Quadripartite Strategic Framework for Collaboration on AMR and the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026). As a flagship FAO initiative, RENOFARM is action-oriented, country-focused and country-led, responding to the global agrifood systems transformation agenda, engaging the entire production chain, from farm to fork, and strengthening partnerships, including with the private sector, across the board to reduce the need for antimicrobials in agrifood systems. It includes regional and global components to support country-level action, especially for the implementation of their National Action Plans on AMR.The initiative aims to have:1. One hundred countries participating, with their NAPs implemented, monitored and regularly updated over the ten-year period of the initiative;2. Training of animal and plant health service providers (equally represented) as well as other experts in areas relevant to RENOFARM; and 3. Eighty percent of participating countries contributing data to the International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (InFARM) platform. RENOFARM focuses on providing farm-level support. This is guided by the Five Goods (5Gs): Good Health Services, Good Production Practices, Good Alternatives, Good Connection and Good Incentives. Recognizing the essential role of a conducive and enabling environment for successful implementation of the interventions at farm-level, the initiative will continuously encourage enabling actions at the agri-environment, national, regional, and international levels.
