    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.

    Global Forest Resources Assessment 2025 2025
    FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2025, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The results of FRA 2025 are available in several formats, including this report, an interactive story on key findings and an online database at https://fra-data.fao.org.

    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The Progressive pathway for emergency preparedness (PPEP) self-assessment user guide is a comprehensive guide that helps national authorities evaluate and improve their emergency preparedness for agrifood emergencies. The guide introduces the PPEP, a voluntary, multistage process that incorporates a self-assessment as a key component. The handbook outlines seven core elements of emergency preparedness (governance, communication, planning, resourcing, training, exercising and continuous improvement), each with specific indicators to assess a country's emergency preparedness status. The guide also introduces the tools for structured evaluation and visual reporting. These tools enable countries to identify improvement opportunities, prioritize them and collaborate with FAO and regional partners to build resilient emergency management systems.

    Mettre en place un système de surveillance pour chaque CCP: HACCP Étape 9, principe 4 2025
    Also available in:

    Le présent document d’orientation donne des informations relatives à l’établissement d’un système de surveillance pour chaque CCP (étape 9/principe 5) aux fins de l’élaboration d’un système HACCP efficace.Les CCP sont surveillés grâce à une mesure ou une observation programmée eu égard à leurs limites critiques. La méthode et la fréquence de surveillance devrait permettre de détecter toute défaillance avant le dépassement des limites critiques établies, afin que les produits puissent être isolés et évalués en temps voulu. Dans la mesure du possible, les CCP devraient être surveillés de façon continue (p. ex. relevé de la température). Pour les limites critiques observables (p. ex. réglages de pompes) pour lesquelles une surveillance continue n’est pas possible, la fréquence de surveillance devrait être adaptée à l’écart et suffisante pour limiter la quantité de produit sur laquelle un écart aurait une incidence.Le personnel chargé de surveiller les CCP devrait avoir reçu une formation appropriée et être capable d’intervenir en cas d’écart. Les données de surveillance et les registres devraient être examinés et évalués par une personne désignée possédant les connaissances nécessaires et autorisée à prendre des mesures correctives, le cas échéant.

    Présentation de l’analyse des dangers – Points critiques pour leur maîtrise (HACCP) 2025
    Also available in:

    Le présent document d’orientation décrit les 7 principes du système HACCP (analyse des risques – points critiques pour leur maîtrise) et la manière de les appliquer en 12 étapes pour renforcer la maîtrise des dangers significatifs dans une entreprise du secteur alimentaire et garantir la sécurité sanitaire des aliments.Le système HACCP occupe une place importante dans la gestion de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments. C’est une approche de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments reconnue à l’échelle mondiale, systématique et fondée sur la science qui prend en considération les risques biologiques, chimiques et physiques tout au long de la chaîne alimentaire, de la production primaire à la consommation finale. La méthode HACCP est axée sur des mesures de maîtrise des dangers significatifs plutôt que sur l’inspection et l’analyse du produit fini. Une entreprise alimentaire ne doit mettre en œuvre le système HACCP qu’une fois qu’elle a mis en place des programmes prérequis solides de gestion de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments, décrits dans les sections consacrées aux bonnes pratiques d’hygiène (BPH). La mise en œuvre de l’HACCP peut poser des difficultés à certaines entreprises. Cependant, les principes HACCP peuvent être appliqués de manière souple à certaines opérations, et les entreprises peuvent utiliser des ressources externes ou adapter un plan HACCP générique à leurs situations particulières.
