Governing antimicrobial resistance in Norwegian livestock farming to 2050: a participatory strategy development approach.

ABSTRACT: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a wicked problem with long-term and unpredictable impacts on human and animal health. Understanding how to govern AMR long-term, amidst evolving social, political, economic, technological and environmental changes which will impact livestock production, animal health and AMR risks is therefore critical. The study used scenario planning as a methodology for envisioning plausible future challenges and thus identify possible strategic responses. The national context for this research was Norway, a stable, high-income country which has achieved low antibiotic use and low AMR prevalence in livestock farming through nearly 30 years of concerted industry and state actions. Working with Norwegian agricultural, animal and public health stakeholders, the scenario ap
