Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFAO 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. -
BookletCorporate general interestReduce 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. -

Also available in:
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.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFramework for integrated land use planning - An innovative approach 2020
Also available in:
Population growth is driving increasing demand for food and other agricultural and forest products. Achieving food security with existing farming practices is likely to lead to more intense competition for natural resources, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and further land degradation and deforestation. Furthermore, market-driven land use patterns are provoking unsustainable use of land resources and irreversible loss of biodiversity and fertile soils. All these trends pose a threat to agricultural production, food security, and the generation of ecosystem services. Land-use planning should thus make careful consideration of climate change resilience and ecosystem management. However, the implementation of land use plans involves a number of challenges that require resolution. Key measures include the adoption of actual sustainable land management (SLM) alternatives facilitated by an enabling environment with appropriate policies and legislation, ensuring a secure land tenure system, and mobilizing medium and long-term financial investments. Considering the above-mentioned challenges, this document developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provides an integrated land use planning (ILUP) approach to assist with inter-sectoral planning processes and implementation for the sustainable use of land resources. It provides guidance to assess several baseline aspects, including the suitability of agricultural production systems, and the examination of soil and land degradation and socio-economic factors affecting household decision-making on land-use and natural resources management in agricultural landscapes, and aims to assist with developing country-specific recommendations for the implementation of an agreed intersectoral plan. -
