    Manuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles 2024

    Le manuel de biosécurité dans les exploitations avicoles vise à apporter un soutien essentiel à la république du Togo dans son effort résolu de maîtriser et de combattre la grippe aviaire. Ce document, d'une nature à la fois technique et pratique, s'adresse principalement aux éleveurs, aux Auxiliaires Villageois d'Élevage (AVE) et aux agents d’encadrement technique des éleveurs. Il a pour objet de définir un ensemble minimal de normes en matière de biosécurité, applicables à tous les producteurs de volaille. La biosécurité, concept intrinsèquement défini comme un ensemble de bonnes pratiques mises en œuvre dans le but de prévenir l'introduction et la propagation des maladies au sein des exploitations avicoles, se révèle être le moyen de prévention et de lutte le plus efficace contre la grippe aviaire et autres maladies contagieuses. Ce manuel s'enrichisse notamment par l'incorporation d'illustrations éloquentes, mettant en lumière aussi bien les bonnes et mauvaises pratiques en matière de biosécurité au sein des exploitations avicoles.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    Looking at edible insects from a food safety perspective
    Challenges and opportunities for the sector

    While insect consumption by humans or entomophagy has been traditionally practiced in various countries over generations and represents a common dietary component of various animal species (birds, fish, mammals), farming of insects for human food and animal feed is relatively recent. Production of this ‘mini-livestock’ brings with it several potential benefits and challenges. The objective of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the various food safety issues that could be associated with edible insects. The intended audiences of this publication are food safety professionals, policymakers, researchers, insect producers as well as consumers. The regulatory frameworks that govern production, trade and consumption of insects in various regions are discussed. The document ends with elucidating some other major challenges, such as consumer acceptance and scaling up production, that the edible insect industry would need to overcome to have a more global reach.
