Book (series)Technical reportFood safety risk management: Evidence-informed policies and decisions, considering multiple factors
-
2017Also available in:
No results found.These FAO guidance materials were developed to support food safety risk managers and policy-makers in applying structured, evidence-informed processes to decisionmaking. Food safety issues can have widespread impacts beyond public health. They may contribute to, or detract from the achievement of goals in areas including nutrition, food security, food trade and market access, economic and rural development. The risk analysis paradigm guides risk managers to ensure their decisions are based on an assessment of risks to health, and consideration of other factors in choosing the preferred risk management decision. The materials assist decision-makers in applying a multi-factor approach and is applied to two key decision areas – setting food safety priorities, and selecting risk management options. The principles and approaches can be applied to all food safety decisions. Case studies are included as examples of how to apply this decision-making process. Using this guidance will lead to improved food safety decisions, where decision-makers can demonstrate how evidence was used and any trade-offs made. It also facilitates stakeholder engagement, transparency and accountability throughout the decision-making process. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidance on weed issues and assessment of noxious weeds in a context of harmonized legislation for production of certified seed 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Food security and nutrition can only be assured if it is based on sustainable production practices and crop seeds of good quality and purity. Good quality seeds are needed on farm as a major asset to boost crop yields. However, availability of good quality seeds largely depends on investment by the private sector, which depends on availability of a significant market to ensure profit. But, enforcement of different national seed legislations, which is the case in many countries, for example in Africa, does not provide a seed market large enough to attract investment from the private sector. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) encourages and supports regional harmonization of rules governing quality control, certification and marketing of crop seeds. While regional harmonization enlarges the seed market and makes it attractive for investment by the private sector, care must be taken to upgrade the seed standards b y insertion of the list of dangerous seed borne pests, pathogens and weeds, to anticipate on their possible spread over entire regions. With regard to weeds, contamination of crop seeds by weed propagules is an important issue in several countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Contamination of crop seeds by weed propagules contributes to spreading of weeds to places where they were not encountered before, which increases weed management cost incurred by the farmer, may take land out of production and may become an impediment to sustainable crop production intensification.
