Book (stand-alone)Technical reportINFOSAN rapport d’activité, 2016–2017 2018INFOSAN has been connecting national authorities worldwide since 2004. Its goal has been to prevent the international spread of contaminated food and foodborne disease, and strengthen food safety systems globally. This has been done by: 1. promoting the rapid exchange of information during food safety events; 2. sharing information on important food safety issues of global interest; 3. promoting partnership and collaboration between countries and networks; and 4. helping countries to strengthen their capacity to manage food safety emergencies. Since its inception, the INFOSAN Secretariat has facilitated international communications between members during hundreds of food safety events; including 84 during the 2016/2017 biennium. This INFOSAN Activity Report provides an overview of the major events, activities and information products relating to INFOSAN in 2016/2017. The report highlights some achievements from the biennium, as well as challenges to overcome and areas for improvement. INFOSAN should be a member-driven network; a united and sustained effort must be made by all INFOSAN members for INFOSAN to reach its full potential.

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportINFOSAN rapport d'activité, 2018/2019 2023INFOSAN met en contact les autorités nationales du monde entier depuis 2004. Son but est d’éviter la distribution d’aliments contaminés et la propagation de maladies d’origine alimentaire au niveau international, et de renforcer les systèmes de sécurité sanitaire des aliments à travers le monde. Cela a été fait: 1) en encourageant l’échange rapide d’informations pendant des événements de sécurité sanitaire des aliments; 2) en partageant les informations sur des questions importantes de sécurité sanitaire des aliments d’intérêt mondial; 3) en encourageant le partenariat et la collaboration entre les pays et les réseaux; et 4) en aidant les pays à renforcer leur capacité à gérer les urgences de sécurité sanitaire des aliments. Depuis sa création, le Secrétariat d’INFOSAN a facilité les communications internationales entre ses membres pendant des centaines d’événements de sécurité sanitaire des aliments, dont 162 durant l’exercice biennal 2018-2019, le double des événements traités pendant l’exercice précédent. Le présent rapport d’activité d’INFOSAN offre un aperçu des principaux événements, activités et produits d’information relatifs à INFOSAN en 2018-2019. Le rapport met en évidence certaines réalisations de ces deux dernières années, ainsi que les défis à surmonter et les points à améliorer. INFOSAN veut être un réseau porté par ses membres; il faut donc un effort solidaire et continu de la part de tous les membres d’INFOSAN afin que le réseau puisse atteindre tout son potentiel.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture (SOLAW)
Managing systems at risk
2011This edition of The State of the World’s Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture presents objective and comprehensive information and analyses on the current state, trends and challenges facing two of the most important agricultural production factors: land and water. Land and water resources are central to agriculture and rural development, and are intrinsically linked to global challenges of food insecurity and poverty, climate change adaptation and mitigation, as well as d egradation and depletion of natural resources that affect the livelihoods of millions of rural people across the world. Current projections indicate that world population will increase from 6.9 billion people today to 9.1 billion in 2050. In addition, economic progress, notably in the emerging countries, translates into increased demand for food and diversified diets. World food demand will surge as a result, and it is projected that food production will increase by 70 percent in t he world and by 100 percent in the developing countries. Yet both land and water resources, the basis of our food production, are finite and already under heavy stress, and future agricultural production will need to be more productive and more sustainable at the same time.
