cannot end hunger, so to limit antimicrobial resistance and avoiding poverty along
with a healthy food system at the same time; we need special adaptive measures and
coordinated approaches. Moreover, the implementation of cohesive and integrated
approaches to mitigate the issues relating to health, food, and environment are
much needed.
We proposed some more distilled and holistic challenges, listed below and possible recommendation at the end to overcome these:
• The prediction and forecasting cannot be put exactly in timeframe due to certain
limitations, such as modeling is not a true representative.
• The collaboration is theoretical, not practically wider enough among various
disciplines.
• “One fits all size,” approach cannot possibly apply to all disciplines and systems.
Firstly, the disturbance and problems modeling is not true enough in order of
their reliability of assessment. Moreover, their impact is measured only by one
dimension. Therefore, a better way of assessment by taking part in other multiple
sectors is much needed. Secondly, there is a huge gap between different fields that
are silently affecting and playing a significant impact on the sustainability of another
system. The more comprehensive, integrated coordination is needed among all relevant fields. That can only be done by synchronization and sharing information,
data, and knowledge. Lastly, it is true that one policy for all is not reliable in terms
of implementation and cannot cover all aspects. However, it is possible that “all different sizes fit together to make a scrabble”. This will open a new room for making
better effective decisions rather than taking individual measurements and policies of
systems. The cross sight into systems will give space for establishing a better
approach to fix antimicrobial resistance, climate change, and food system. Further
analysis of antimicrobial resistance and climatic developments is imperative to
determine whether potential climate change effects on antimicrobial resistance
become greater in future.
3.8 Conclusion
The food supply and system are vulnerable to the issue of antimicrobial resistance
and climate change may exacerbate the antimicrobial resistance which ultimately is
a threat to food quality and food safety. Both antimicrobial resistance and climate
change should be closely monitored. The interplay of microbial communities with
climate, especially in marine, terrestrial, and agriculture ecosystems, has a major
role in sustaining the ecological balance. However, anthropogenic activities like
agriculture, industry and intensive food production systems have significantly
increased the emission of greenhouse gasses, while at the same time, antibiotics
overuse in the human and veterinary sector has added as supplement feature. Under
the dual challenge of antimicrobial resistance and climate change, the food system
has become compromised either qualitatively or quantitatively, and the global food
