Book (stand-alone)The International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (InFARM) system
Manual for implementation 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (InFARM) system is an FAO flagship initiative, supporting countries in collecting, collating, analysing, visualizing, and effectively utilizing their AMR monitoring and surveillance data primarily from livestock, fisheries, and aquaculture, along with their associated food products. InFARM empowers countries to generate reliable evidence to measure the extent of AMR in animals and food, at local, regional, and global scales, filling critical gaps in AMR data within agrifood systems.This document introduces the InFARM system, provides the FAO's roadmap for implementation over the coming years, and serves as a guide for country officials, offering a step-by-step approach to support the implementation of InFARM. It provides specific steps and recommendations to guide national focal points in mobilizing country participation through the collection and sharing of available AMR data, along with information on the status of implementation of monitoring and surveillance activities.Through the InFARM system, FAO invites its Members to establish and strengthen operational national AMR surveillance systems. -

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.
