AMR-LEX

With the financial support of the UK Fleming Fund and NORAD, FAO Development Law Service (LEGN) has developed AMR-LEX, a subset of FAOLEX, the world's largest database of food and agricultural policy and legislation. AMR-LEX is publicly available since September 2022, is free of charge and constantly updated. 

Developed with a One Health approach, AMR-LEX pays attention to all the legal areas relevant to AMR and AMU in the food and agriculture sectors. This includes AMR specific policies and legislation, but also sector specific policies and legislation across legal areas.  AMR-LEX further incorporates national and regional profiles that include AMR-relevant policies and legislation. Through its national profiles, AMR-LEX provides an opportunity to go through different regulatory options and design new regulatory solutions to tackle AMR. By disseminating these laws, regulations, and policies, AMR-LEX contributes to the global efforts to address AMR, and to highlight the important contribution that legislation has to this purpose.
