A report released by the agriculture and rural development of EU stated that, antimicrobial resistance (the ability of microorganisms to resist antimicrobial treatments, especially antibiotics) has a direct impact on human and animal health. The (Farm to Fork) strategy sets out the objective to reduce by 50% the overall EU sales of antimicrobials for farmed animals and in aquaculture by 2030. EU countries, in their dedicated Common Agricultural Policy CAP Strategic Plans, have planned several measures to step up the fight against antimicrobial resistance and increase animal welfare in farmed animals, supported by funding from the Common Agricultural Policy.The report indicated that, for the current programming period 2023-27, almost all EU countries included measures for specific support for higher levels of animal welfare and for combating antimicrobial resistance in their CAP Strategic Plans. This covers a wide range of species, through combinations of practices, investments, cooperation and training. In total, €6.3 billion of EU funding is earmarked to support voluntary actions under eco-schemes and rural development. Overall, this support aims to reach 23% of EU livestock units.
