Interview conducted by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.Nov 24 2022 Thought LeadersJunxia SongSenior Animal Health OfficerFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations For World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2022, we speak to Junxia Song, FAO Senior Animal Health Officer, about the impact antimicrobial resistance is having on animal health.
As the senior animal health officer for the FAO, what do you personally believe to be some of the biggest threats to animal health in today's world? Antimicrobials are one of farming's most important tools for treating infections. Without them, food production will decline. This means less income for households in a vulnerable situation and reduced food security and nutrition.
Good husbandry practices, biosecurity, sanitation, hygiene, vaccination, and other infection prevention measures are essential to reduce the need for antimicrobials in animals and antimicrobial pesticides in plants.The World Health Organization has described antimicrobial resistance as being one of the top ten threats to humanity. Despite this, the widespread effects of AMR are not publicly understood.
