    “Capacity development for agricultural innovation systems”, implemented by FAO and Agrinatura from 2015 to 2019, supported the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) to improve the global coherence of capacity development for agricultural innovation. The project contributed to developing a common framework for a practical approach to capacity development for agricultural innovation, and piloted its application across eight countries. The approach is based on soft skills and the importance of process, as opposed to the mainstream paradigm based on developing technology and hard technical skills. This approach was found to be relevant to most of the 40 TAP members by helping to improve the coherence and impact of their capacity development activities. The common framework has strong potential for adoption beyond TAP members. However, it is important for future similar interventions to work on both functional and technical capacities simultaneously.

    La contaminación del suelo: una realidad oculta 2018
    Also available in:
    Este documento presenta los mensajes clave y el estado actual de la contaminación del suelo, así como sus implicaciones para la seguridad alimentaria y la salud humana. Su objetivo es sentar las bases para un nuevo debate durante el próximo Simposio Mundial sobre la Contaminación del Suelo (GSOP18), que se celebrará en la sede de la FAO del 2 al 4 de mayo de 2018. La publicación ha sido revisada por el Grupo Técnico Intergubernamental sobre el Suelo (GTIS) y por autores colaboradores. Aborda las evidencias científicas sobre la contaminación del suelo y destaca la necesidad de evaluar el alcance de la contaminación del suelo a nivel mundial a fin de lograr la seguridad alimentaria y el desarrollo sostenible. Esto está relacionado con los objetivos estratégicos de la FAO, especialmente el SO1, el SO2, el SO4 y el SO5, debido al papel crucial que desempeñan los suelos para garantizar un ciclo eficaz de nutrientes que permita producir alimentos nutritivos e inocuos, reducir las concentraciones de CO2 y N2O en la atmósfera y, por lo tanto, mitigar el cambio climático, desarrollar prácticas sostenibles de gestión del suelo que aumenten la resiliencia de la agricultura a los fenómenos climáticos extremos mediante la reducción de los procesos de degradación del suelo.

    Codex 2020 – What next for standards?
    Private sector looks post-COVID-19 – Safe food handling practices as important as ever
    2020
    Also available in:
    In a year characterized by unprecedented disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this publication records the steps the Codex Alimentarius has taken from July 2019 (CAC42) to September 2020 (CAC43) on the road to safe and quality food for everyone. Over the course of the year, some Codex committees were able to meet as scheduled to discuss updates to international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice. Those meetings able to complete their work include the six FAO/WHO Coordinating Committees covering all regions of the globe. Meetings were suddenly halted in March 2020 and since then Codex has been breaking new ground with a first ever virtual Executive Committee meeting and this first virtual Commission. The “food code’s” governing body, known as the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), will make decisions on the committees’ proposals during a series of virtual sessions held over nearly four weeks.
