AMR has been identified as one of the most pressing global challenges we face this century. Through projects such as IID3, we are able to learn more about AMR in foodborne pathogens with the aim of supporting work to prevent the spread. Part of our World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) series of blogs.

For World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, the Pathogen Surveillance in Agriculture, Food and the Environment programme (PATH-SAFE) will be showcasing some of the antimicrobial resistance research activities that are underway across the programme.
Common or Garden Antimicrobial Resistance - Two Citizen Science Projects
It's World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) and we want to share some insights into our latest Citizen Science projects. Citizen Science is when we co-create studies with people in the community. Our latest reports delve into the world of AMR in your home, specifically on home-grown food and on your chopping boards.
Join our Scientific Advisory Committees
We hear from current members of our Scientific Advisory Committees (SACs) to find out about their roles, and to hear about their experience of being a SAC member.

One of the Food Standards Agency's ongoing commitments to food safety is surveillance. As part of this, we actively monitor the levels of infectious intestinal disease (IID) in the UK.
While we regularly review the number of confirmed IID cases, not all cases that occur in the UK population will be recorded by public health systems.

British Science Week 2023 and connections across Government
We're celebrating British Science Week and this year's theme is 'connections'. We are kicking things off with our Chief Scientific Advisor, Robin May, discussing how he connects us to other Government departments.
Join our Science Advisory Committees in 2023
We're looking for new members to join our Scientific Advisory Committees (SACs). This year, for the first time, we are looking for both full members and associate members. The latter category is specifically aimed at early and mid-career researchers.
