The European project ROADMAP fosters transitions towards prudent antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal production.

ROADMAP sets up innovative approaches within a transdisciplinary and multi-actor perspective to engage with animal health professionals, stakeholders and policy-makers.

​It analyses the socio-economic drivers of AMU, develops tailored strategies for change and proposes transition scenarios in diverse farm animal production systems in Europe and low and middle income countries.

We are happy to introduce you the ROADMAP infographics on country case studies!

During our 3rd ROADMAP Annual Meeting, members and stakeholders discussed their goals and challenges on every country involved in our project and we used the technique of message houses so as to obtain and gather all the information.

Right after, we translated this information into visuals in order to make it easier to convey and analyse. The infographics are ready to download!

ROADMAP Joins ARMOR Project group

29-07-2022
Within Horizon Results Booster programme (HRB), HealthyLivestock, DISARM, ROADMAP, AVANT and AMRILS H2020 projects have taken the first step towards forming a Project Group named “ArMoR – fighting Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in livestock farming”. This project group is formed based on common features in these projects’ activities and results in this research field. The projects in this group aim to develop a conceptual framework to improve understanding of AMR in livestock systems. With HRB, this project group has created a portfolio of results that are suitable for joint dissemination.

Learn more about ArMoR in our dedicated section in ROADMAP website!

ROADMAP project takes over the DISARM Community of Practice group on Facebook, now with a new name:

"Animal Health & Antibiotics Network"

We will continue to grow this network to link together farmers, veterinarians, advisors, industry members and researchers to promote best practice strategies to reduce antibiotic resistance in livestock farming.

For this reason, ROADMAP Stakeholder Community on Facebook will be inactive.

Join us on our journey!

ROADMAP Project has become a member of AMR Stakeholder Network 

13-06-2022
As ROADMAP project, we are pleased to announce to be part of the AMR Stakeholder Network. This organization brings together more than 60 leading organisations and individuals committed to tackling Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) at the national, regional, and European level, covering all dimensions of the ‘One Health’ approach from the World Health Organization.  
ROADMAP’s project coordinator Nicolas Fortané attended AMR Stakeholder Network’s meeting on 18 January 2022 and he presented ROADMAP project to AMR Stakeholder Network members: 

“ROADMAP will contribute to the fight against AMR arising from farmed animal production and a global reduction of AMU and its impact on the environment, animal health and public health”. 
 
We are happy to be a member of this powerful network and we look forward to working together with AMR Stakeholder Network members.

ROADMAP ANIMATION is out!

30-05-2022
The new ROADMAP animation movie describes the importance of antimicrobial resistance, how ROADMAP supports prudent use of antimicrobials in livestock sector and ROADMAP's tailored solutions in case studies and living labs in 10 different countries in pig, poultry, dairy and veal production farms.

DISARM is a project composed of an active network of collaborating organisations including researchers, industry and farmers, dedicated to finding innovative solutions to antibiotic resistance. The aim of this project has always been to promote the reduction of antibiotic resistance by reducing the need for antibiotic use in livestock farming, focusing on disease prevention and prudent use of antibiotics.

On Monday 16th May, DISARM is organising a Brokerage Event in which ROADMAP is taking part. Keep an eye to our social media to know more about it instantly! 

ROADMAP ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

​09-03-2022
We would like to thank everyone who participated in our 3rd Annual General Meeting. The meeting was online due to Covid-19.
At the 3rd ROADMAP Annual General Meeting, project participants, including the Stakeholders Advisory Board members, were actively engaged in discussing the main objective and activities of the case studies in each country! The discussions were very fruitful and inspiring.

Example of a Message House
Furthermore, we spent time on building “message houses” that focused on the case studies of each country. The aim with the message houses was to explore and reflect whilst building effective communication. During the session, the participants were divided into different breakout rooms according to their country. Afterwards everyone presented their work for each other.
​
We truly hope we can meet again in person next year! It has been too long now.

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​.
