Causal exploration of AMR interventions in UK food systems
IMPACT AMR Network seminar series
The IMPACT AMR Network takes a transdisciplinary approach to improving the use of evidence to inform prioritization of efforts to impact antimicrobial resistance. In summer 2026, the Network’s seminar series invites speakers for each event to present their work on a particular theme or case study around prioritisation.
The second seminar of the series presents ‘Causal exploration of AMR interventions in UK food systems.’ Dr Carys Redman-White will discuss her work leading an IMPACT AMR early career researcher (ECR) project utilising a systems thinking approach to anticipate direct and indirect impacts of proposed AMR interventions across a collaboratively mapped system. Drawing on previous research, a causal loop diagram of AMR in UK food systems was developed using expert elicitation, drawing on the expertise of an interdisciplinary panel of experts from the Impact AMR network. The panel proposed a range of possible interventions to consider for analysis using the piloted approach, “causal exploration”, which was compared with two other methods. Causal exploration successfully identified multiple potential positive and negative impacts of interventions not identified by the other methods and shows promise for use complementary to other techniques to anticipate the impacts of interventions.
