33 000 people die in Europe every year from untreated infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This number could increase tenfold by 2050. By then, antibiotic resistance will surpass cancer as the second biggest cause of death worldwide. Without working antibiotics, we could return to a “pre-antibiotic era”, where infections from surgeries or cancer treatments, and even simple infections would no longer be possible to treat.Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics when we use the wrong antibiotic or abuse antibiotics to treat an infection. We can acquire antibiotic-resistant bacteria from eating meat from animals treated with antibiotics or by being exposed to contaminated water. Antibiotic resistance also impacts livestock, agriculture and food production, causing a serious economic burden that costs the EU €1.5 billion per year...

This infoclip provides illustrative images of a wide range of agricultural activities in various EU member states. In Slovenia, a farm breeds wild pigs. In Spain, the Cicytex research center provides services of high added value to companies in the sector of Agro-Food Technology. Still in Spain, a cooperative is active in the milk, meat and animal feed industries, and has a strong presence in internationalization and commercial development, and a another farm produces Manchego cheese with the milk of 8000 sheep. In Germany, a family farm produces about 1700 organic eggs per day.

Limiting antibiotic treatment and improving infection control are at the heart of EU efforts to manage the rising threat of animal antimicrobial resistance.
