Synopsis (short abstract) RENOFARM (Reduce the Need for Antimicrobials on Farms for Sustainable Agrifood System Transformation) is a global initiative launched by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in April 2024. This project aims to reduce the need for antimicrobial drugs on farms under the guiding principles of the One Health approach, promoting sustainable transformation within agrifood systems. To advocate for the One Health approach and the RENOFARM initiative among youth worldwide, FAO has teamed up with Huazhong Agricultural University for the RENOFARM Youth Poster Challenge during the 2nd Animal Disease and One Health Forum. This document outlines the guidelines for participating in the competition.

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been clearly identified as a major global health challenge. It is a leading cause of human deaths and also has a toll on animals, plants, and the environment. Despite the considerable socio-economic impacts, the level of awareness of the problem remains woefully inadequate, and antimicrobials are not generally recognized as a global common good, one that everyone has a role and responsibility to conserve. It is imperative for antimicrobial stewardship to be more widely implemented to achieve better control of the AMR phenomenon. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations plays an important role in promoting and facilitating antimicrobial stewardship. The specific needs to be addressed and barriers to be overcome, in particular, in low- and middle-income countries in order to implement antimicrobial stewardship practices in agrifood systems are being identified. As a global community, it is essential that we now move beyond discussing the AMR problem and focus on implementing solutions. Thus, FAO provides multi-pronged support for nations to improve antimicrobial stewardship through programs to strengthen governance, increase awareness, develop and enhance AMR surveillance, and implement best practices related to antimicrobial resistance in agrifood systems. For example, FAO is developing a platform to collect data on AMR in animals and antimicrobial use (AMU) in plants (InFARM), working on a campaign to reduce the need to use antimicrobials, studying the use of alternatives to the use of antimicrobials (especially those used for growth promotion) and actively promoting the implementation of the Codex Alimentarius AMR standards. Together, these will contribute to the control of AMR and also bring us closer to the achievement of multiple sustainable development goals
