Synopsis (short abstract) Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, that has been exacerbated by the inappropriate and excessive use of antimicrobials, especially in the human and livestock-related food-producing sectors. The Regional Legal Report presents the results of an analysis of the national legislation relevant to antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in the food and agriculture sector that has been conducted in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The document discusses the findings of the legal analysis, gives recommendations for addressing weaknesses and formulates proposals for improving existing legislation in each country, with the ultimate goal of limiting the imprudent use of antimicrobials, and therefore decreasing the spread of AMR in food and agriculture.

    Improving Food Security in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan - TCP/SEC/3502 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The agricultural sector in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan andTajikistan is responsible for 20–50 percent of the population'slivelihoods. While the global cultivation of genetically modified (GM)crops is increasing, the authorization for cultivation or import of thesecrops as food and feed stuffs is not harmonized between countriesand is becoming increasingly more complex despite the internationalagreements, such as the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB).Additionally, the necessary expertise and facilities for comprehensiveassessment and management of risks, related to genetically modifiedorganisms, was lacking in all four countries. This project developedcapacities in all four countries, implemented the internationalobligations and ensured decent livelihoods and food security in ruralareas through increased agricultural production.

    This Legislative Study elaborates on methods for addressing AMR risks and challenges through legislation. It outlines the concepts and mechanisms relevant to address AMR for the twin goals of attaining responsible and efficient use of antimicrobials and the mitigation of AMR. As such, it aims to respond to the UN General Assembly’s call for “strengthening of regulatory capacity”, as well as efforts to “increase awareness and knowledge and [share] good practices and findings” in the global fight against AMR.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
