Book (series)Safety and quality of water used with fresh fruits and vegetables 2021
Also available in:
During fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV) production, water is used for a variety of purposes. Even the water was conventionally treated and disinfected, it may still potentially contain human pathogens, albeit at low concentrations. A risk assessment, appropriate to the national or local production context, should be conducted to assess the potential risks associated with a specific water source or supply in order to devise the appropriate risk mitigation strategies. Since the 48th session of Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) noted the importance of water safety and quality in food production and processing, FAO and WHO has undertaken the work on this subject. This report describes the output of the third in a series of meetings, which examined appropriate and fit-for-purpose microbiological criteria for water used with fresh fruit and vegetables. The advice herein will support decision making when applying the concept of fit-for-purpose water for use in the pre- and post-harvest production of fresh fruit and vegetables. -

No results found.Food insecurity, poverty, and increasing climate shocks and stresses are persistent issues faced by the agricultural sector. As the world’s population is constantly growing, more innovative approaches and efforts are required to solve these issues, without placing additional pressure on the environment or depleting natural resources. Horticultural production systems integrating advanced technologies can provide an opportunity to grow a wide range of crops with high commercial and nutritional value. However, many developing countries have not as yet begun to apply such technologies to agriculture, or are at the initial stages of their application. Against this background, the project aimed to facilitate the process of promoting the production and consumption of safe and high quality fruit and vegetables at national and international level, in order to address the pressing issues mentioned above.
