Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureUse and implementation of Codex, IPPC and WOAH standards: How do the three sisters monitor the impact of their work? 2025
Also available in:
No results found.FAO estimates that one-third of trade in food and agriculture takes place within global value chains and crosses at least two borders. To protect trillions of dollars in worldwide exports of food and agricultural products from unsafe or poor-quality food and the spread of pests and diseases, trading nations rely on the implementation of globally agreed standards set by three international entities: the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the International Plant Protection Convention and the World Organisation for Animal Health, known collectively as “the three sisters”. This document examines how and why each of the three sisters monitors, the use and impact of their standards, and what challenges they face in carrying out these monitoring activities. Also explored are the outcomes and information that have emerged from monitoring that improve trade harmonization and that ultimately will leave no one behind. This publication makes a case for the engagement of memberships in setting and implementing standards, and for supporting the monitoring activities that promise to improve the impact of international standards. -

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
