Last week, there was a special "international gathering" in Jiangbei - jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Nanjing Agricultural University.Second RENOFARM training course, which opened at Nanjing Agricultural University's Riverside Campus.
The five-day course attracted senior veterinary officials from 13 developing countries, including Egypt, Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka.
When these international friends come together, what will they discuss, share and learn together? What are the highlights to watch out for?
Colleges join hands with FAOFocusing on global challenges
Before introducing this training course, I am sure you have all heard of "superbugs". This refers to bacteria that have become resistant to most commonly used antibiotics, rendering even common infections drug-free, and has become a serious global public health threat in recent years.
How do bacteria "learn" to resist drugs? In addition to drug abuse in the medical field.The overuse and misuse of anti-microbials such as antibiotics and anti-parasitic drugs in agri-food systems is also a major driver of theThe
"If antimicrobials are misused in animal farming, they may promote the development of drug-resistant bacteria in animals and may be transmitted to us through the food chain or the environment."
Wu Zongfu, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Animal Medicine of Nanjing Agricultural University, introduced this RENOFARM training course, which is aiming to address this global challenge.
"RENOFARM" in Chinese means'Reducing reliance on and demand for antimicrobials for agri-food system transformation', we hope to promote green and sustainable development of the livestock industry at the source and system level."
Wu Zongfu introduced that NANU has been maintaining a long-term cooperative relationship with FAO; this training course, too, is the first key landing project after the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between FAO and the university. Both sides will work together to promote the governance of anti-microbial drug resistance and contribute to global food security.20 course activitiesStrengthening exchanges and cooperation
Aiming at this goal, the training course focused on antimicrobial drug reduction, animal health management and technical capacity enhancement at the farm level.
According to the schedule.More than 20 special courses, technical seminars, hands-on teaching and interactive exchange activities were organized in five days.The lecturer team consists of FAO veterinary officers, renowned scientists in the field of animal health in China and professional teachers from NANNU. The course covers key areas such as rational use of antimicrobials, livestock and dairy health management, and herbal antitoxic technology, providing participants with a systematic and practical learning experience.
The teacher is not simple, the course is not simple, and the participants in this course are not "simple". They are allSenior managers in the veterinary field in their respective countriesThese international participants come from different cultures and professional backgrounds to learn and exchange ideas and knowledge. These international trainees from different cultural and professional backgrounds are here to learn, exchange, and bring back the concepts and knowledge they have learned to promote and apply, to cooperate deeply, and to move forward hand in hand.
"This training has well enhanced my systematic understanding of animal health and veterinary public health, an area that is also the focus of our country's current development." Nouv Sophorn is the National Focal Point for Veterinary Products in Cambodia and Deputy Director of the Veterinary Inspection Office. He said he will actively promote the results of these concepts and practices at all levels of communities and relevant institutions in Cambodia.Organized for the second consecutive yearInternational Impact UP
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that SAARC has organized a RENOFARM training course. In November last year, the first RENOFARM training course was also held at SANNU, with participants from 15 countries.
Organized for the second consecutive year, it is not only a national college"Unique" and the program's international reach continues to grow.According to reports, in order to provide more experience for countries to promote resistance reduction actions, this training course is also based on the first session of the feedback, the optimization of the training content: more prominent practice-oriented and operable, with the addition of interactive links and case studies; more in line with the needs of international trainees in capacity building, and to enhance the transnational collaboration and exchange of experience. ......
A dynamic and inclusive environment, where ideas and perspectives meet, is more than just a training course. Moving towards the future, we look forward to a new approach to the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
