KENYA 2021. Farmer field schools on antimicrobial resistance and sustainable farming practices
16 March 2021, Gatundu, Kiambu County, Kenya - Members of Kahuruko Farmer Field School attend a lesson about AMR and chicken farming as an activity for the Farmer Field School at a farm in Kahuruko near Gatundu, Kiambu County, Kenya on March 16, 2020.
Antimicrobial resistance is the ability of a microorganism to survive and grow in the presence of antimicrobial drugs that were killing or destroying it before. AMR develops naturally, but slowly, and can be accelerated by overuse or misuse of antimicrobial drugs. The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in several microorganisms is complicating the management of many infectious diseases. AMR is a major threat to human development and the fight against infectious diseases. It endangers animal health and welfare, as well as food production. AMR also adversely affects the functioning of human, animal and plant health systems and economies.
Interventions were set up by FAO and GoK in Gatundu North to target timely vaccinations, hygiene and proper feeding of the birds to prevent disease, reducing the use of drugs to stop AMR. The interventions were based on Farmer Field School (FFS) approach, where farmers (3 farmer groups) have been meeting at the demo farms (3 farms) on a weekly basis since September 15th 2020. In each of the FFS trainings, two facilitators (previously trained on how to run FFS) are engaged to guide the discussions.
