One Health: Reducing Antimicrobial Resistance in India
March 04, 2026

Antimicrobials are crucial for treating sick animals and protecting our food supply, but their overuse in human medicine and agriculture fuels Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

The FAO, WHO, and WOAH are collaborating through a 'One Health' approach. They develop guidelines for responsible antimicrobial use, strengthen surveillance, and enhance public awareness. Learn more about FAO's work on AMR and help combat pathogens by sharing this vital information.
