This FAO Technical Lecture Series webinar, part of the FAO & AUN-AFS Research Proposal Competition for Youth 2026, introduces the One Health approach to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agrifood systems. Dr. Alessandro Patriarchi from FAO discusses AMR as a shared challenge across human, animal, plant, and environmental health, emphasizing the need for coordinated action.

The session highlights FAO’s RENOFARM initiative, which promotes responsible antimicrobial use and good practices in food production. It also underscores the importance of youth, researchers, and institutions in developing evidence-based solutions to mitigate AMR risks and enhance the sustainability of agrifood systems.

For the first time, olive seeds have been deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a crucial international effort to secure the long-term preservation of olive genetic diversity.

This inaugural deposit was a collaborative endeavor involving the FAO's International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the International Olive Council, the Universities of Córdoba and Granada, and support from Spain's Plant Genetic Resources Centre and NordGen. The FAO Treaty empowers nations to conserve, share, and utilize crop diversity.

In Azerbaijan, the FAO/GEF Lifecycle Management of Pesticides project supports agriculture education transformation. Students' integrated pest management trials prove biological controls cut pesticide use, protecting crops, lowering farmer costs, and enhancing consumer safety.

High productivity is achieved through practices like pruning, leaf removal, and using biological methods such as yellow traps and pheromones. Organic fertilizers are preferred. This model, promoting a safe harvest as the best, is now spreading regionally, fostering sustainable agriculture protecting livelihoods and health.

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit of over 930 seed accessions into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup facility for crop diversity. This crucial step

Guatemala has made a historic first deposit of over 930 seed accessions into the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the world's most secure backup facility for crop diversity. This crucial step safeguards the nation's agricultural biodiversity, including fundamental crops like maize, beans, squash, amaranth, and teocinte.

This significant deposit resulted from an emergency intervention and a long-term alliance between Guatemala's national germplasm bank and communities in the Cuchumatanes region.
