Over the past two years, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and its partners have strengthened agrifood systems in the Dominican Republic. Their animal health initiative specifically targeted African Swine Fever (ASF), significantly improving biosecurity.

As a result, 25 pig farms, including Jonathan Rivera's (featured in a video), have been certified for enhanced biosecurity measures. Compliance with these standards surged from 35% to nearly 80%, reducing disease circulation and bolstering national prevention systems. These efforts are boosting the country's pork export potential, supporting producer livelihoods, and increasing foreign exchange income.

Antimicrobials are crucial for treating sick animals and safeguarding our food supply. However, their overuse and misuse in both human medicine and agriculture drive Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), leading to the failure of vital antibiotics. Farmers often struggle to access proper guidance and treatments for animal health.

To combat this, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) collaborate through a 'One Health' approach. They develop responsible antimicrobial use guidelines, strengthen surveillance, and enhance public awareness of AMR, particularly in the Philippines.
