Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and its Consequences 1st Edition

Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and its Consequences 1st Edition by Arti Gupta is a timely, authoritative exploration of how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is reshaping food production, animal health, and public safety worldwide. Clear, concise, and evidence-driven, this book draws together science, case studies, and practical policy to illuminate a crisis that touches farms, kitchens, and clinics across regions from South Asia and Africa to Europe and the Americas.

Discover how routine antibiotic use in livestock, aquaculture, and crop protection drives resistant strains; learn about surveillance strategies, risk assessment, and the environmental pathways that spread resistance. With balanced coverage of veterinary practice, biosecurity measures, alternative interventions (vaccination, probiotics, and husbandry improvements), and antibiotic stewardship, the book equips readers to understand both the scale of the problem and realistic mitigation options.

Ideal for policymakers, veterinarians, researchers, agricultural professionals, and graduate students, this 1st Edition combines rigorous analysis with practical recommendations for on-farm change, regulatory reform, and cross-sector collaboration under the One Health framework. Regional examples and global policy perspectives make it especially useful for stakeholders working in areas where AMR threatens food security and public health.
