Synopsis (short abstract) This brochure presents FAO’s work on food safety and the recognition that ready access to safe and nutritious food is a basic human right. Food security is achieved when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to food that meets their dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Food safety plays a critical role across the four dimensions of food security – availability, access, utilization and stability. It is paramount that we find sustainable ways to cultivate, produce and consume safe and healthy foods while preserving our planet’s resources. FAO recognizes that the ramifications of the cost of unsafe food go far beyond human suffering. FAO works with governmental authorities, with local industry and other relevant stakeholders to ensure that regardless of where the food is produced, consumers have the right to expect that the food they buy is safe and of the expected quality. This brochure includes examples of FAO’s work, and the importance of science-based decision-making and working together to build the world we want – a Zero hunger world.
