Book (series)Manual / guideNote explicative des Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de Coordination pour l’Afrique (CXG 98-2022) 2025
Also available in:
Cette note explicative propose des conseils pratiques pour la rédaction, l'interprétation et la réforme desinstruments juridiques régissant les aliments, en se référant aux normes et textes apparentés de la Commission du Codex Alimentarius, et en particulier aux «Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de coordination pour l’Afrique» (CXG 98-2022). Elle expose les considérations qui devraient guider les législateurs et les autorités détentrices du pouvoir réglementaire lors de l'intégration des principes du Codex Alimentarius dans la législation nationale; elle encourage une approche fondée sur la science et les risques, soutient une réglementation intégrée de la chaîne alimentaire et favorise la consultation des parties prenantes. En renforçant les systèmes nationaux de contrôle des aliments et en promouvant la cohérence législative, la note explicative contribue à un approvisionnement alimentaire plus sûr et à de meilleurs résultats en matière de santé publique.Conçue comme une ressource visant à soutenir l'application des «Directives relatives à l’élaboration d’une législation harmonisée sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments dans la région couverte par le Comité FAO/OMS de coordination pour l’Afrique» (CXG 98-2022), la note explicative passe en revue les principaux concepts et définitions juridiques, notamment la sécurité sanitaire des aliments, l'analyse des risques et le rôle des exploitants et des autorités du secteur alimentaire. Elle fournit des considérations pratiques pour l'adoption de principes dans une législation efficace, tels que la transparence, la traçabilité et le principe de précaution, et met en évidence des pistes concrètes pour aligner les cadres juridiques nationaux sur les normes internationales. La note explicative aborde également la distinction entre législation sur la sécurité sanitaire des aliments et législation alimentaire, offrant aux États membres une certaine flexibilité pour adapter leurs instruments normatifs tout en préservant la compatibilité avec les règles du commerce international. Outre les orientations législatives, la note explicative favorise un engagement inclusif des parties prenantes – consommateurs, universités et industries – et recommande des instruments réglementaires solides, assortis de mécanismes de révision régulière. Elle encourage les États membres à adopter un cadre juridique alimentaire réflexif, fondé sur des données probantes et évolutif au rythme des progrès scientifiques et des contextes nationaux. En favorisant l'harmonisation, l'équivalence et l'alignement sur les normes internationales, la note explicative soutient la coordination institutionnelle, réduit les barrières commerciales et renforce la sécurité juridique, contribuant ainsi à renforcer les échanges commerciaux. -

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
