Can nature-based solutions help reduce antibiotic use in livestock? 🌿

Approaches such as ethnoveterinary medicines and resilient native poultry breeds can help address antimicrobial resistance, while supporting animal health, farmer livelihoods and environmental sustainability. https://t.co/WpIb6VmRVV

India has strengthened regulations on antibiotic use in food animals to meet export standards. But is that enough to protect the food on our own plates?

CSE's @rajeshwari_s14 examines why the recent restrictions must go beyond export requirements👇 https://t.co/2WR84weDon

New episode of Sunita Narain's Show is now live!

Why does our food safety policy have to be driven by importing countries and their consumers?

If countries buying our food have stringent checks to keep unsafe products out, shouldn't Indian consumers expect the same level of protection? And when new regulations come into force, how do we ensure they work for both consumers and farmers on the ground?

In this latest episode, @sunitanar unpacks these vital questions and explores what they tell us about the way India approaches the food we eat every day.

How QR codes on antibiotics can strengthen India’s fight against AMR

India’s new QR code rules are set to make critical medicines traceable from manufacturer to patient.

Under the amended rules, vaccines, antimicrobial medicines, anti-cancer drugs, and narcotic and psychotropic medicines will carry QR codes on their packaging, helping strengthen medicine traceability and curb counterfeit drugs.

By expanding QR code- based traceability, India is taking a step towards a secure pharmaceutical supply chain and support the country’s efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance. However, its success will ultimately depend on effective implementation.

Read how the new rules work and why they matter, in this analysis by Neeraj Kumar : https://t.co/s41nSTfTS8

This week, the Sustainable Food Systems team at CSE wrapped up a successful training and workshop on 'Sustainable Food Systems: An Agenda for Climate-Risked Times' at our residential campus, Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute.

Curated for civil society organsisations, the programme brought together 25 participants from nearly 10 states, including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Chhattisgarh.

Led by domain experts, the discussions focused on:
- Soil health and carbon credit
- Agro-ecological practices for mitigation, adaptation and resilience
- Adaptation through weather-crop information
- Resilience through insurance to cover risks and losses
- Livestock, agriculture emissions and mitigation

The Sustainable Food Systems team at CSE wrapped up a successful ‘Training cum workshop on scaling up preventive approaches in the Indian freshwater fisheries sector to reduce disease and minimise antibiotic use’ last week from January 20-22, 2026.

The workshop was attended by about 25 trainees, comprising of nominated state fisheries department officials from KVKs and seven fish producing states in north and eastern part of India ─Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab.

The discussions focused on freshwater aquaculture, and different preventive approaches (e.g., feed and alternatives, farm management and biosecurity, vaccination, rearing systems, breeds and seeds) which could help reduce the occurrence of diseases and the need for antibiotics in freshwater aquaculture.

The sessions included a mix of lectures, class exercises, panel discussions, case studies from resource persons represented by the scientific community (@icarcifa, @icar_cife, key fisheries universities), government (NFDB), progressive farmers and sustainable fish producers from key fish producing states such as Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka as well as Assam.
