This blog highlights WorldFish’s people-centric and community-based approach to promoting antimicrobial stewardship in aquaculture in Bangladesh. It describes pilot courtyard meetings that engaged fish farmers, agrovet shop owners, veterinarians, and fisheries officers to improve understanding of biosecurity, disease prevention, and responsible antimicrobial use. The approach emphasizes behaviour change through participatory learning, simple tools, and local engagement. The experience demonstrates how community-led interventions can reduce unnecessary antimicrobial use while strengthening One Health awareness in aquaculture systems.
The blog was jointly published under the Antimicrobial Resistance and One Health South Asia (AMROH-SA) Project and the CGIAR Sustainable Animal and Aquatic Foods (SAAF) Science Program.
