    FAO plays a key role in addressing AMR and the use of antimicrobials within the context of sustainable agrifood systems transformation. This includes animal production, animal health and welfare, aquaculture, marine resources, plant production and protection, biodiversity and restoration of nature, forestry, food safety, land, water and soil management. With national offices in over 130 countries, five regional offices and its headquarters, FAO supports countries to detect, prevent and contain AMR in line with its action plan on AMR. Launched in 2024, the 10-year flagship initiative Reduce the Need for Antimicrobials on Farms for Sustainable Agrifood Systems Transformation (RENOFARM) as well as the International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (InFARM), a global platform for harmonized farm-level AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) data, are key mechanisms to achieving FAO’s commitment to reduce the need for antimicrobial use in agrifood systems by 2030. FAO has implemented AMR-related activities through over 62 projects, supporting over 70 countries to increase their capacity to address AMR through sustainable transformation of agrifood systems. This technical brief provides an overview of FAO’s work on AMR over the past two years (2023–2024) according to the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025.

    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.
