Hosted by The AMAST Network, a UKRI Network

The AMAST (AMR in Agrifood Systems Transdisciplinary) Network is funded by UK Research and Innovation and is dedicated to protecting the future of our food systems and public health by addressing antimicrobial resistance through collaborative, innovative research and action.

This interactive panel session will bring together representatives from water utilities, operators and engineers, farmers, health practitioners, academics, policymakers, regulators and other experts for an engaging discussion, with opportunities for conference delegates to contribute to the debate.

The session will explore the scientific evidence and common misconceptions surrounding antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and biosolids, while considering the perspectives of key stakeholders from across the sector. It will provide a thought-provoking addition to the conference programme, offering delegates a different format alongside the technical presentations.

The panel discussion will be chaired by Professor Ruben Sakrabani of Cranfield University, with contributions from a range of complementary sectors relevant to the water industry.
