Half of all antibiotics are estimated to be used in our food system annually, with an expected increase in the next twenty years, due to intensification of livestock production in developing countries. Simultaneously, we have seen an increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Adopting a transition pathways model our study increases knowledge and awareness among dairy farmers by providing farmers the results of the presence of antimicrobial resistant genes (AMRg) from fecal samples collected from their farms, while also encouraging a dialogue surrounding antimicrobial usage on the farm. This proposal extends upon previous REI & CSRE funded research, except we are requesting funds to administer a slightly different genetic test on farms. As far as we are aware our research is the first to combine on-farm AMRg testing with social science data. Additional seed funding will allow us to run a different genetic test to quantify the presence of specific genes on farms. Slowing AMR is an ongoing challenge that contains multiple ethical issues, and there will be no single solution. Increasing the dialogue surrounding the challenges of managing AMR for both humans and animals moving forward will prove critical to ensure highly productive and sustainable food systems.
