Key messages
By promoting good practices like biosecurity, hygiene, and vaccination in animal and plant health, we can reduce the need for antimicrobials and safeguard our food systems. | A One Health approach is the key to tackling AMR. The interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, and environmental health demands that we work together across sectors and borders to protect antimicrobials and preserve health for all. | The second Political Declaration on AMR reaffirms the urgent need for coordinated global action to address AMR across all sectors, recognizing the vital role of agrifood systems in this effort. FAO is committed to support countries through RENOFARM and InFARM endorsed by countries. |
