The economic impacts of antimicrobial resistance in livestock (EcoAMR)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) persists as a significant global threat to public health, with an estimated 4.95 million deaths attributed to bacterial AMR in 2019 alone. Inaction on this issue could lead to a staggering 10 million deaths annually by 2050. Recognized as a formidable challenge, AMR jeopardizes not only global health but also food and economic security.  The focus of this work is on understanding the economics of AMR and antimicrobial use in livestock. To address these key objectives, we will undertake a mix of different research methods including literature reviews, expert interviews and mathematical modelling.
