ProjectFactsheetStrengthening National Capacities for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Livestock Sector - TCP/UKR/3702 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat Although much evolving AMR can be attributed to the use and misuse of antimicrobials in humans, the overuse of drugs in the livestock sector also jeopardizes the effective treatment of human and animal diseases There is very limited information available in Ukraine related to the use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector however, recent studies carried out by national authorities on the sale of antimicrobials for use in veterinary practice provide clear evidence of the widespread use and possible misuse of antimicrobials along the meat and dairy value chains Awareness of the threat of AMR development and spread is low among public authorities and the professionals involved in the livestock sector In addition, no efficient system exists in the country to monitor antimicrobial use ( and AMR in order to carry out the necessary risk assessments and put in place evidence based policies for AMR risk management In the light of this situation, Ukraine requested FAO assistance to enhance its capacities for antimicrobial resistance. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportStrengthening Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance and Response in Zimbabwe: a Coordinated One Health Approach - GCP/ZIM/031/UK 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global challenge, undermining the effectiveness of treatments for infectious diseases in both humans and animals. In Zimbabwe, the misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture and animal husbandry has accelerated the development of resistant bacteria, exacerbated by weak surveillance systems, limited laboratory capacity and insufficient regulatory frameworks. The agricultural sector, particularly poultry and cattle farming, relies heavily on antibiotics, increasing the risk of AMR transmission through the food chain. Environmental contamination, resulting from inadequate waste management, further compounds the problem. Addressing AMR requires a coordinated approach that integrates human, animal and environmental health efforts. This project was designed to strengthen Zimbabwe’s capacity to manage AMR by improving surveillance, governance and laboratory infrastructure. It sought to establish a coordinated governance framework, enhance laboratory capabilities for bacterial culture, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), and develop a robust surveillance system for reliable AMR data collection and reporting. -

No results found.The 75th Anniversary FAO-the Republic of Korea Partnership Booklet celebrates the remarkable collaboration between the Republic of Korea and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) since the Republic of Korea's membership in 1949. This commemorative booklet highlights key milestones and joint achievements over the past 75 years, showcasing how FAO has supported the Republic of Korea's transformation from a recipient country to a key global resource partner.Through historical insights, significant projects, and forward-looking initiatives, the booklet illustrates the shared commitment to eradicating hunger, enhancing food security, and driving sustainable development. It also reflects the pivotal role the Republic of Korea has played in shaping FAO’s global initiatives, contributing to policies and standards that continue to impact the international agricultural landscape.Presented in both English and Korean, this booklet aims to inspire continued collaboration as FAO and the Republic of Korea work together toward a Zero Hunger world.
FAO-대한민국 75주년 기념 책자는 1949년 대한민국이 FAO에 가입한 이래로 지속된 FAO와 대한민국 간의 협력을 기념합니다. 이 책자는 지난 75년간 이루어진 주요 성과와 협력을 재조명하며, FAO가 대한민국의 수혜국에서부터 주요 공여국 으로의 전환을 어떻게 지원했는지를 보여줍니다.역사적 배경, 주요 프로젝트, 그리고 미래 지향적인 이니셔티브를 통해 이 책자는 기아 근절, 식량 안보 강화, 그리고 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 공동의 헌신을 담고 있습니다. 또한 대한민국이 FAO의 글로벌 이니셔티브를 형성하고, 국제 농업 분야에 지속적인 영향을 미치는 정책과 기준을 발전시키는 데 기여한 중추적인 역할을 반영하고 있습니다.영문과 국문으로 구성된 이 책자는 FAO와 대한민국이 함께 '제로 헝거' 세상을 향해 지속적으로 협력할 수 있도록 영감을 제공하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileA multi-billion-dollar opportunity – Repurposing agricultural support to transform food systems 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Public support mechanisms for agriculture in many cases hinder the transformation towards healthier, more sustainable, equitable, and efficient food systems, thus actively steering us away from meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and targets of the Paris Agreement. This report sets out the compelling case for repurposing harmful agricultural producer support to reverse this situation, by optimizing the use of scarce public resources, strengthening economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately driving a food systems transformation that can support global sustainable development commitments. The report provides policymakers with an updated estimate of past and current agricultural producer support for 88 countries, projected up until 2030. The trends emerging from the analysis are a clear call for action at country, regional and global levels to phase out the most distortive, environmentally and socially harmful support, such as price incentives and coupled subsidies, and redirecting it towards investments in public goods and services for agriculture, such as research and development and infrastructure, as well as decoupled fiscal subsidies. Overall, the analysis highlights that, while removing and/or reducing harmful agricultural support is necessary, repurposing initiatives that include measures to minimize policy trade-offs will be needed to ensure a beneficial outcome overall. The report confirms that, while a few countries have started repurposing and reforming agricultural support, broader, deeper, and faster reforms are needed for food systems transformation. Thus, it provides guidance (in six steps) on how governments can repurpose agricultural producer support – and the reforms this will take.
