Top ten actions for farmers to keep animals and people healthy and antimicrobials working
2018Save lives and livelihoods by following the advice in this flyer starting today. When an infection strikes, and medicines like antibiotics (and other antimicrobials) do not work, you can lose your entire stock of animals to disease. This also puts the health of you and your family at risk when the infection can spread between animals and people. Every time we use antimicrobials like antibiotics to treat infections in people, animals and plants, these germs have a chance to learn how to tolerate these treatments, making them less effective over time. There are two main reasons why antimicrobials don’t cure an infection: • They are the wrong treatment or have been used improperly. • The germs causing the infection have become resistant to this treatment in a process called antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is leading to the failure of our most important medicines. Without working antimicrobials, many more people, animals and plants are at risk of dying from infections. But we can take action now to keep antimicrobials working. Read and share this flyer, which includes ten key actions for farmers to keep animals and people healthy, and antimicrobials working. Healthy animals, happy farmers! -

No results found.Agriculture is Angola’s second largest productive sector. On average, it contributes 9.7 percent to the country’s gross domestic product, making it the main economic activity of the Angolan people. At present, 80 percent of Angolan farmers are smallholders who produce around 80 percent of all agricultural products in the country. However, they face a number of constraints, comprising weak capacity and limited knowledge of improved agricultural practices and technology; poor access to extension services; limited access to modern inputs, including seeds and fertilizers; inadequate market information; and post-harvest losses. The agriculture sector’s institutional capacity is also weak, particularly in relation to irrigation, policy analysis and agricultural statistics. Against this background, the project aimed to support smallholder producers to improve their production conditions and organization for marketing in three provinces considered the breadbasket of Angola, Bié, Huambo and Malanje. The project built on a previous World Bank-supported project - the Market Oriented Smallholder Agriculture Project (MOSAP I) - implemented in the three above-mentioned provinces. -
