Synopsis (short abstract) This Annual Report outlines FAO's key achievements and case studies on animal production and health. Throughout 2022, FAO focused on promoting sustainable and resilient livestock production systems while addressing a growing demand for animal-derived food products. During the year, the Organization implemented strategies to tackle animal diseases, reduce antimicrobial resistance, and improve veterinary services worldwide. Recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health, FAO actively contributed to policy development and advocacy for sustainable livestock practices at national, regional and international levels.

It is now accepted that increased antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria affecting humans and animals in recent decades is primarily influenced by an increase in usage of antimicrobials for a variety of purposes, including therapeutic and non-therapeutic uses in animal production. Antimicrobial resistance is an ancient and naturally occurring phenomenon in bacteria. But the use of antimicrobial drugs – in health care, agriculture or industrial settings – exerts a selection pressure which can favour the survival of resistant strains (or genes) over susceptible ones, leading to a relative increase in resistant bacteria within microbial communities.
