Less Medicine, More Meat
How Four Nations Cut Farm Antibiotic Use Since 2015

Book Details
About this book:

Less Medicine, More Meat Antimicrobial resistance is the silent pandemic threatening to unravel modern medicine—and our dinner plates are on the front lines. *Less Medicine, More Meat* goes behind the headlines to reveal how four major agricultural powers—the Netherlands, Denmark, the UK, and the US—have slashed farm antibiotic use since 2015 without collapsing their livestock industries. From the Dutch "top-down" regulatory revolution to the UK’s industry-led voluntary targets and the complex US landscape, this book dissects the policies, data systems, and on-farm innovations that actually work.

Moving beyond theory, the authors expose the nuts and bolts of change: how veterinarians shifted prescribing habits, how farmers mastered biosecurity and nutrition to replace growth promoters, and how retailers and consumers drove demand for responsible meat. You’ll see where voluntary pledges failed and where mandatory transparency succeeded, why "One Health" collaboration beats isolation, and the economic case for producing more protein with fewer drugs.

Essential reading for policymakers, producers, veterinarians, and food-system leaders, this is the definitive playbook for decoupling animal agriculture from the resistance crisis. The proof is in the data: we can protect the miracle of antibiotics *and* feed the world. The roadmap is here—now it’s time to scale it.
