Summer 2020 RET Deliverable Booklet

Access to effective and cost-efficient antimicrobials is critical for human and animal health, animal welfare and food security. The potential consequences of antimicrobial resistance include reduced food production, reduced food security, greater food safety concerns, higher economic losses to farm households, and contamination of the environment.

In this curriculum, students will learn about resistance, how it spreads, the dangers of exposure and the ultimate impacts resistance has on agriculture, the economy, and our health.
