Policy briefPolicy briefKey actions to curb antimicrobial resistance
Policy brief for parliamentarians
2025Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to health of people and animals, food security, and economic stability, with projections estimating 39 million human deaths between 2025 and 2050, if left unchecked. The "Key Actions to Curb Antimicrobial Resistance: Policy Brief for Parliamentarians," published by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), equips parliamentarians and other legislators with actionable strategies to respond to this crisis in their countries and beyond. This policy brief outlines the escalating impact of AMR across human, animal, agricultural, and environmental sectors, driven by misuse and overuse of antimicrobials, inadequate healthcare, sub-optimal access to veterinary services, problems with agricultural practices and environmental pollution. It highlights global efforts to prevent and mitigate AMR, while identifying key challenges which remain. The policy brief offers practical recommendations on domains like strengthening laws, securing financing, multisectoral governance and raising awareness to drive national and global responses. With a One Health approach, this brief underscores the urgent need for coordinated action to safeguard public health and sustainable development and guides the parliamentarians to possible evidence-based actions and sources of standardized information on AMR from various sectors. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideThe FAO Progressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance
User’s manual
2025Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Progressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance (FAO-PMP-AMR) is a tool designed by FAO to support countries in developing, revising, and implementing the food and agriculture components of National Action Plans on AMR (AMR-NAPs). FAO-PMP-AMR plays a critical role in empowering the food and agriculture sectors to implement AMR-NAPs, enabling a One Health approach at the national level. The FAO-PMP-AMR covers 41 topics for comprehensive assessment of AMR-NAPs, and for each topic, it proposes four steps of activities and key performance indicators to achieve sustainable status with a step-by-step approach. FAO-PMP-AMR can be applied at any stage of AMR-NAPs throughout their development, implementation, and revision, by assisting countries in monitoring progress, identifying gaps between planning and implementation, and generating priority activities and relevant technical resources to improve specific areas towards higher levels of implementation.The PMP-AMR manual comprises three main parts:1. Essentials: Introduces the rationale of the PMP-AMR approach and its target audience.2. Details: Provides a detailed description of the pathways under each topic.3. Self-Assessment Process: Walks through how to apply the self-assessment process using PMP-AMR, including the organization of assessment workshops. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureProgressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance (FAO-PMP-AMR)
Stepwise approach to sustainable management of antimicrobial resistance in food and agriculture sector
2023Also available in:
No results found.After the adoption of the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021-2025 during the 166th Session of the FAO Council, the Organization has committed to assisting countries in developing and implementing National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR with a One Health approach, ensuring no sector is left behind. The FAO’s Progressive Management Pathway for Antimicrobial Resistance (FAO-PMP-AMR) serves as a comprehensive guidance framework to support countries in translating NAPs into action. Regardless of the stage a country is at in the implementation process, the FAO-PMP-AMR approach facilitates step-by-step progress, allowing for the transition from small-scale initiatives to nationwide One Health implementation. The brochure introduces the FAO-PMP-AMR approach. It emphasizes the significance of addressing AMR in the agrifood system and explains how the PMP-AMR can assist countries in creating and implementing NAPs on AMR. It is helpful for promoting the One Health approach and raising awareness about countries’ sustainable efforts to tackle AMR.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapThe FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025
Supporting innovation and resilience in food and agriculture sectors
2021Due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), drug-resistant infections are placing an ever-increasing burden on human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Drug-resistant infections have the potential to become leading causes of death. AMR may force tens of millions more people into extreme poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and the associated economic losses are projected at several percent of gross domestic product. However, we can prevent this from happening – if we act quickly. This document outlines the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025 which serves as a roadmap for focusing global efforts to address AMR in the food and agriculture sectors. The aim of this plan is to help accelerate progress in developing and implementing multi-sectoral National Action Plans to tackle AMR by calling attention to strategic priorities and areas of expertise for FAO support. The action plan was developed by a multidisciplinary FAO team to ensure that all relevant dimensions – including terrestrial and aquatic animal health and production, crop production, food and feed safety, genetic resources, natural resource management, risk communication, and behavior change - are considered, with attention to regulatory frameworks, standards, norm-setting and bottom-up processes of collective action. By working together, food systems, livelihoods, and economies will be better protected from the destabilizing forces of untreatable illness.
