Script Antimicrobial Resistance or AMR is a global threat. An estimated 700,000 people die from resistant infections every year. The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) is helping countries develop One Health National Action Plans on AMR for the responsible use of antimicrobials from farm to fork. Antimicrobials must be used responsibly in all sectors to keep them working. Changes in agricultural practices are essential for this to happen. Kenya’s AMR National Action Plan follows the One Health approach, prioritizing the prevention of infections to reduce the need for antimicrobials. Healthy animals, just like healthy people, don’t need antibiotics. Actions to improve hygiene, biosecurity and nutrition help to prevent infections.

Farmers need support to change their working practices and should be provided with information about the responsible use of antimicrobials and antibiotics. The overuse of antimicrobials speeds up resistance.
