ProjectFactsheetCreating an Enabling Environment towards Food Safety and Economic Growth in Palestine - GCP/GAZ/013/SWI 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Ensuring consumer protection and food safety and quality is essential to safeguarding the health and well-being of Palestinian people; as well as to accessing domestic, regional and international markets. However, constant threats from animal diseases and plant pests and diseases put the food safety of Palestinian consumers at risk. These problems are compounded by the limited capacity of local authorities in monitoring, inspecting and controlling the food value chain, and in regulating and providing Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) services in the framework of a sustainable national SPS system. In addition, small-scale herders, particularly in Gaza Strip, are adversely affected by a lack of resources and essential services, as well as having limited access to animal health services, which are indispensable for protecting livestock from disease outbreaks. The project aimed to enhance the design and implementation of better policies and regulatory frameworks for public sector institutions, and to improve the provision of public services related to plant protection, food safety and quality, as well as animal health. -

Food safety technical toolkit for Asia and the Pacific No. 3
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Asia–Pacific region is growing at an impressive pace: it is home to the highest population numbers and densities, and is a hub for technological advancements. Asia and the Pacific have the potential to lead the future of food and agriculture. However, the levels of country capacities vary widely: an example of this is illustrated by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The grouping is unique, and it has technical clusters specifically dedicated to address common issues and challenges. ASEAN shares with Codex Alimentarius an interest in harmonizing, standardizing and making uniform the elements of food safety control systems. To strengthen ASEAN countries’ capacities to participate in Codex Alimentarius, FAO and ASEAN established a project, funded by the government of Japan, which brought enormous results in the area of food safety. Those results have contributed to improving consumers’ health and to facilitating food trade, and have strengthened the trade between ASEAN and Japan. The impacts of collaboration are now at the service of all. This document summarizes the collaboration to improve the participation of ASEAN countries in Codex Alimentarius. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019
Safeguarding against economic slowdowns and downturns
2019This year’s report presents evidence that the absolute number of people who suffer from hunger continues to slowly increase. The report also highlights that food insecurity is more than just hunger. For the first time, the report provides evidence that many people in the world, even if not hungry, experience moderate food insecurity as they face uncertainties about their ability to obtain food and are forced to compromise on the quality and/or quantity of the food they consume. This phenomenon is observed globally, not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high income countries. The report also shows that the world is not on track to meet global nutrition targets, including those on low birthweight and on reducing stunting among children under five years. Moreover, overweight and obesity continue to increase in all regions, particularly among school-age children and adults. The report stresses that no region is exempt from the epidemic of overweight and obesity, underscoring the necessity of multifaceted, multisectoral approaches to halt and reverse these worrying trends. In light of the fragile state of the world economy, the report presents new evidence confirming that hunger has been on the rise for many countries where the economy has slowed down or contracted. Unpacking the links between economic slowdowns and downturns and food insecurity and malnutrition, the report contends that the effects of the former on the latter can only be offset by addressing the root causes of hunger and malnutrition: poverty, inequality and marginalization. -

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)FlagshipEl estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2019
Protegerse frente a la desaceleración y el debilitamiento de la economía
2019En el informe de este año se presentan evidencias de que la cifra absoluta de personas que padecen hambre sigue aumentando lentamente. El informe también destaca que la inseguridad alimentaria es algo más que solamente hambre. Por vez primera, el informe proporciona datos según los cuales hay muchas personas en el mundo que, si bien no padecen hambre, experimentan inseguridad alimentaria moderada, ya que se enfrentan a incertidumbres en cuanto a su capacidad para obtener alimentos y se ven obligadas a aceptar menos calidad o cantidad en los alimentos que consumen. Este fenómeno se observa a nivel mundial, no solamente en países de ingresos bajos y medianos, sino también en países de ingresos altos. El informe también pone de manifiesto que el mundo no está en camino de cumplir las metas mundiales de nutrición, incluidas las relativas al bajo peso al nacer y a la reducción del retraso del crecimiento en los niños menores de cinco años. Además, el sobrepeso y la obesidad siguen aumentando en todas las regiones, especialmente entre los niños en edad escolar y los adultos. El informe destaca que no hay ninguna región libre de la epidemia del sobrepeso y la obesidad, y subraya la necesidad de enfoques multifacéticos y multisectoriales para detener y revertir estas inquietantes tendencias. -
