Livestock and CGIAR impact areas
Nutrition, health and food security: Animal source foods remain
essential for proper nutrition and long-term health for most people in lower-
and middle-income countries; and must be SAFE
Poverty reduction, livelihoods and jobs: Livestock are
fundamental for the livelihoods of almost one in five people on the planet
and in virtually every country on earth, for national economic growth
Gender equality, youth and social inclusion: The
transformation of women’s livelihoods is impacted by livestock; the
transformation of livestock food systems is impacted by women
Climate adaptation and mitigation: A sustainable
livestock sector presents many very big opportunities to adapt
to climate change and lower GHG emissions
Environmental health and biodiversity: Livestock
enterprises are integral to the planet’s future environmental
health and for supporting biodiversity

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a

Food safety: large burden

Be mindful of the unintended impacts
Antimicrobial use is essential

Food & nutritional security
Gender and Youth equity
Antimicrobial resistance is deterimental
Intensifying food systems
Feed crisis and climate change
Poor consumer power
We can’t regulate our
way to reducing AMU
and AMR: Regulation is
needed but it’s not
enough
We can’t train our way
to reducing AMU and
AMR: Capacity building
is useful if incentives
are in place

Antimicrobial Use (AMU) – global and national level
• 77.4 mg and 286.6 mg of in-
feed antimicrobials were used
to raise 1 kg of live chicken
and pig, respectively.
• 1023.5 tons of in-feed
antimicrobials (42.2 and
981.3 tons) for chicken and
pig production.

What have we learnt after 6 years of CGIAR research?
Low knowledge amongst users AND prescribers
Complex drug value chains
Limited tools & resources → imprudent practices
AMR on farms and in food products
Little strain sharing
Antibiotic residues in food products
Successful pilots under controlled test
conditions
Lack of data for decision making
Lack of awareness amongst policymakers
Limited lab diagnostic capacity
Supply chain bottlenecks

24
How could we address AMR in the livestock sector in LMICs?
1. Changing and improving the system
(entire ecosystem) = working on
strategic opportunities
2. Changing and improving farmers
behaviours = what is desired
behaviour and to trigger or nudge
farmers to do them
25
What about a gendered approach?
• “farmer” = man in the field or with his livestock
• 2/3 of 600 million poor mixed crop-livestock farmers are
women
• Between 5-10% of farms in NED, DK, DE are managed by
females (Eurostat 2016)
• Gender-blind intensification interventions can
inadvertently cause women to lose their business
AMR Interventions need to be effective
AND empower rural women farmers

Editor's Notes

  • #7 FAO. 2011. Mapping supply and demand for animal-source foods to 2030, by T.P. Robinson & F. Pozzi. Animal Production and Health Working Paper. No. 2. Rome. IMPACT results generally suggested smaller changes in demand compared to FAO. Among other drivers of the results, the observed differences may be related to the underlying assumptions on how future demand will respond to prices and incomes. FAO projections could for example be assuming big shifts to Chicken Meat consumption (e.g., from pork) as incomes grow in Asia. IMPACT makes the same assumption in terms of direction, but with the expected shifts a bit more dampened. High income countries include much of Europe. In fact, if one looks at individual European nations in many cases there is a DECLINE in demand (Switzerland for beef (-22%) and pork (-14%) for example) Figures for meat consumption: https://data.oecd.org/agroutput/meat-consumption.htm
  • #8 One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent. The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate changes and contributing to sustainable development. (3) 1st Quadripartite Executive Annual Meeting on One Health - YouTube
  • #9 A few major projects among others. More on One Health @ILRI: ilri.org/one-health
  • #11 Importance to understanding the role antimicrobials play in terms of ensuring health, welfare and productivity. Antimicrobials are essentials. Flip side is that use over time will leads to resistance and the impacts are mortality, morbidity, loss in producitivity, less food, and economic losses Multiple efforts, global and national to reduce antimicrobial use and reduce antimicrobial resistance in pathogens
  • #12 While we recognise the importance of perserving the efficacy of antimicrobials, and the importance of action, we need to be mindful on the unintended impacts of any AMU/AMR reducing interventions in LMICs that have so many challenges. It’s a balancing act
  • #14 To help understand the challenge of AMR, the Hub is based on 5 interconnected pillars AMU AMR Interventions Policy Capacity Development
  • #16 Basis la % ???
  • #17 Before the launch of the 1CG initiatives, we decided to take stock of the AMR research conducted under the CRPs and associated bilateral projects between 2015-2021 We produced this Synthesis report which summarises and highlights what we have learnt and also identify gaps. This was used to et the new AMR research agenda. The size of bubble indicates where we previously focused on
  • #18 Global call to reduce use of antimicrobials in food systems. Upcoming UN Meeting on AMR in 9.2024 But how?
  • #19 European Medical Agency report. Delia: Nearly all the AMR and fish issue comes from aquaculture in China. Salmon in cages used to be a problem: the biggest producer is Norway then Chile. AM use remains high in Chile but Norway has succeeded in almost eliminating AM while increasing production. So AM use in aquaculture is a solvable problem.
  • #20 In Canada, a national surveillance system to monitor AMR was formally recommended in 1997 Steering Committee, the Canadian Committee on Antibiotic Resistance Advisory Committee on Animal Uses of Antimicrobials and Impact on Resistance and Human Health-2002 Laboratory for Foodborne Zoonoses National Microbiology Laboratory Canadian Food Inspection Agency Canadian Public Health Laboratory Network
  • #24 But we also need to understand What are the cost-benefits of any intervention and the incentives for change Moreover we have to ask who has to change their behaviour? What resources do they have
  • #28 Current AMR agenda. We are drawing from our learnings in the AMR synthesis report and we are coming at the problem from different angles. ILRI and the CGIAR are uniquely positioned.
  • #29 Key partners we work. There are more but these are the ones we work closely with.
