Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEngaging agrifood systems to generate data-for-action in tackling antimicrobial resistance
Addressing antimicrobial resistance through a One Health approach in Sub-Saharan Africa, and South and South-East Asia
2023Also available in:
No results found.This document provides an overview of the 'Engaging Agrifood Systems to Generate Data-for-Action in Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance' project. Its goal is to create an enabling environment for data generation by raising awareness and generating pilot evidence. Additionally, the project aims to identify priority areas for strengthening AMR-relevant governance and piloting targeted good practices. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a natural phenomenon, but the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in human health and agrifood industries worsen it. In order to make effective decisions at all levels of the food, agriculture, and environment sectors, it is necessary to have more data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), antimicrobial use (AMU), and antimicrobial consumption (AMC). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working to address the challenges underlying data limitations on AMR, AMU, AMC, and antimicrobial residues. With significant support from the Fleming Fund, the project is expected to contribute significantly to global efforts to tackle the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance. -
Book (stand-alone)Tackling antimicrobial resistance in food and agriculture 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) leads the global response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the food and agriculture sectors. Its work in response to the many challenges of AMR is currently guided by the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025. This first report on FAO’s contribution to the global response to AMR outlines a wide range of activities undertaken by FAO at global, regional and country level. This report: • describes FAO’s role in the global governance of AMR; • provides an overview of progress on implementing national action plans on AMR in agrifood systems; • highlights key activities undertaken to implement the FAO Action Plan on AMR 2021–2025; and • flags key challenges and opportunities related to AMR in the food and agriculture sectors. The AMR response in the food and agriculture sectors requires more and better evidence, more informed, more widespread interventions to reduce the threat of AMR, greater resources, stronger capacity and more robust governance to ensure effective stakeholder engagement and sustained commitment and action based on the One Health approach to reduce AMU, particularly at country level. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetProgressive 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.
