    Concerns about the effects of fat in the diet have led to a substantial amount of new scientific research. At times, the public messages about dietary fat are complex, unclear and difficult to apply. In this issue of Food, Nutrition and Agriculture, international experts, relying on the latest research, place this major category of foods in proper perspective.At the recent Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Fats and Oils in Human Nutrition, experts in public health and food science discussed the positive and negative effects of various types of fat. Their recommendations, made to assist policy-makers, health providers and the food industry, are published here.Throughout the world, the consumption of fats and oils is increasing. Furthermore, consumer preferences and methods of producing oil are changing. These changes have implications for food production and trade as well as health. To protect consumers and facilitate trade, the Codex Alimentarius Commission's standards for oils are constantly evolving. Standards for oils are among the many Codex standards which will gain importance with the implementation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). An explanation of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, part of the GATT accord, and its impact on consumers and producers is featured in this issue.Through this issue of Food, Nutrition and Agriculture, we wish to improve the understanding of the role of fats and oils in human nutrition. In addition, we believe that readers will find the discussion of international agreements regarding food informative and useful.

    全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。
