Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO tools to promote sustainable livestock transformation by reducing the need for antimicrobials on farms 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This brochure is part of a series called "FAO's Work on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)". It aims to provide relevant stakeholders across the One Health spectrum with the necessary tools to promote sustainable livestock transformation while reducing the need for antimicrobials on farms. Antimicrobial resistance is a complex and serious threat to public health and agrifood systems as it can harm food production, safety, and security. As a result, FAO is preparing to launch a ten-year global initiative called "Reduce the Need for Antimicrobial Use for Sustainable Agrifood System Transformation (RENOFARM)". A key intervention area of this initiative is to support sustainable livestock transformation by providing tools and resources that promote animal health and production, prevent the entry and spread of infectious agents, reduce disease incidences, and preserve the efficacy of antimicrobials at the farm level. -
BookletReduce the Need for Antimicrobials for Sustainable Agrifood System Transformation (RENOFARM)
Innovation, technologies and hand-in-hand partnerships to address antimicrobial resistance for healthier agrifood systems

No results found.The Reduce the Need for Antimicrobials for Sustainable Agrifood Systems Transformation (RENOFARM) initiative, officially launched on April 25-26, 2024, is a ten-year global programme and FAO’s response to the aforementioned high-level recommendations and requests. It aims to support countries in reducing the need for antimicrobials in their agrifood systems in a substantial, proportionate and sustainable manner, nonetheless supporting responsible and prudent use of antimicrobials when they are needed while also maintaining or enhancing productivity. The initiative is deeply rooted in FAO’s Action Plan on AMR (2021-2025). It is guided by the broader One Health approach and is also embedded in the FAO Priority Programme Area on One Health, the Quadripartite Strategic Framework for Collaboration on AMR and the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (2022–2026). As a flagship FAO initiative, RENOFARM is action-oriented, country-focused and country-led, responding to the global agrifood systems transformation agenda, engaging the entire production chain, from farm to fork, and strengthening partnerships, including with the private sector, across the board to reduce the need for antimicrobials in agrifood systems. It includes regional and global components to support country-level action, especially for the implementation of their National Action Plans on AMR.The initiative aims to have:1. One hundred countries participating, with their NAPs implemented, monitored and regularly updated over the ten-year period of the initiative;2. Training of animal and plant health service providers (equally represented) as well as other experts in areas relevant to RENOFARM; and 3. Eighty percent of participating countries contributing data to the International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (InFARM) platform. RENOFARM focuses on providing farm-level support. This is guided by the Five Goods (5Gs): Good Health Services, Good Production Practices, Good Alternatives, Good Connection and Good Incentives. Recognizing the essential role of a conducive and enabling environment for successful implementation of the interventions at farm-level, the initiative will continuously encourage enabling actions at the agri-environment, national, regional, and international levels. -

No results found.Reduce the Need for Antimicrobials for Sustainable Agrifood Systems Transformation (RENOFARM) is a ten-year action-oriented global initiative by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that contributes toward countries’ agrifood systems transformation through the provision of comprehensive support in the implementation of good production practices. The overarching goal is to reduce the need for antimicrobials and to promote responsible and prudent use when antimicrobials are needed. The initiative will support countries to strengthen the implementation of National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR across agrifood sectors and increase the capacity of the agriculture workforce to promote and adopt best practices that reduce the need for antimicrobials throughout agrifood systems.
