Championing the responsible use of medicines in agriculture
Who we are and what we do
RUMA agriculture is a not-for-profit cross sectoral Alliance of 26 organisations representing supply chains from farm to fork. It provides leadership to the UK livestock industry encouraging innovative and proactive efforts to improve the responsible use of veterinary medicines while ensuring optimum animal health and welfare.
RUMA uses evidence-based information to promote the livestock industry’s responsible use of medicines. The organisation has an ongoing focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as well as supporting the message of responsible use beyond AMR, and is committed to supporting a One Health strategy.
