surveys ready for veterinarians and farmers

18-01-2022

​​ROADMAP surveys are now online and available in different languages! These surveys are carried out at various European research institutes. The surveys target farmers and veterinarians involved in the animal production. The aim of these surveys is to better understand animal health practices and identify transition pathways towards prudent use of antibiotics in the livestock sector.

If you are a veterinarian or a farmer, you are invited to share your experience by joining our surveys here. You will thus contribute to the reflection and communication on your profession at an international level.

POdcast news: The medical arms race: overcoming microbial resistance

14-12-2021
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex problem affecting human, animal, plant and environmental health. Antimicrobials play a critical role in farming: resistant microorganisms can develop in our food chain, moving between animals, humans and environments. Disturbing when you consider the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates global use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector alone will rise by 67 % by 2030 to 105 596 tons (Source). 

Our Project Coordinator Nicolas Fortané was taking a key part in the discussion about antimicrobial resistance. Tune in and listen to his reflections starting from 35:45​.

JOINT PROJECT SESSION AT THE "RESPONSIBLE USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN ANIMALS CONFERENCE"

​21/06/21
​
ROADMAP joined its forces with AVANT, HealthyLivestock and DISARM projects in the joint project session on 8 June 2021 at the 5th International Conference on Responsible Use of Antibiotics in Animals. The project session "Socio-economic, technical and regulatory dimensions of sustainable change in antimicrobial use in animal production" was composed of 3 themes:
  • Theme 1: Social, economic, and regulatory factors of transitions
  • Theme 2: Promising technical innovations to reduce AMU
  • Theme 3: Stakeholder engagement and impact
ROADMAP project coordinator Nicolas Fortane summarized the objectives, structure and the progress of the project under Theme 1 with his presentation titled: "ROADMAP: What can social sciences say about change and transition? Behavioural and structural drivers of antimicrobial use (AMU) on socio-economic drivers of AMU and alternatives to AMU". Under the "Stakeholder engagement and impact" theme, Mette Vaarst (AU) and Bernadette Oehen (FiBL) presented the experiences with Living Labs as an approach towards prudent AMU in different contexts.
 The valuable speakers from the AVANT, HealthyLivestock and DISARM projects presented interesting presentations under each theme. You can see the whole programme here. After each theme, Nicolas Fortane moderated the interactive Q&A sessions.
​Overall, the session reached out to almost 75 participants from different countries and stakeholder groups. In addition, ROADMAP and AVANT, HealthyLivestock and DISARM projects have a virtual booth to present various communication and dissemination project materials such as brochures, fact sheets and videos. The project booths will be available until the 1st of August for all participants of the conference. The recording of the joint project session ara available on ROADMAP's YouTube channel!
