The year is 2046. Vaccine access is within reach. Antibiotics in livestock systems are used responsibly. But it wasn’t always this way. Illustrated by Phoebe Ouma, in collaboration with @gstrategylab.bsky.social, @woahglobal.bsky.social, @ilri.org Coming April 2026. ✉️ bit.ly/4ckigA5

How might antibiotics used for livestock affect the very soils that farming depends on? That's just one of ILRI's areas of research. Visit our website for more updates 👇

Reductions in animal antibiotic use will stall if farmers lack security, support and the right incentives. Stewardship must be grounded in equity, adapted to climate realities, and responsive to those who raise the animals that feed the world. @globalamrhub.bsky.social @cgiar.org #AMR
