DocumentFactsheetStrengthening farmers’ resistance to plant pest and disease outbreaks- GCP/GLO/391/EC 2017The purpose of the International Plant Protection Convention is to secure common and effective action to prevent the spread and introduction of plant pests into endangered areas and to promote measures for their control. Implementation of the provisions made in the Convention are guided by the Commission on Phytosanitary Measures. The Implementation Review and Support System for the Convention, which was agreed subsequently, was designed to build on existing or planned processes approved by the Convention’s governing body, facilitating and promoting its implementation.

ProjectGuidelineReducing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Plant Production through Risk Assessment Guidelines - GCP/GLO/519/CAN 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The need to effectively control antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in plant production has become increasingly urgent, with foodborne AMR posing risks to food safety, trade, and public health. Despite existing guidelines from the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), Codex Members have faced challenges in applying them practically. In response, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated this project to provide Members with practical tools to implement the Codex Guidelines for Risk Analysis of Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance (CXGL 77-2011). The project developed accessible resources in English, French, and Spanish on assessing and preventing AMR risk for fruit and vegetable value chains. These resources and guidelines were piloted through workshops and risk assessment activities in South Africa and Viet Nam, respectively. Policymakers participating in the workshop demonstrated increased knowledge and commitment. In Viet Nam, training on surveillance and data collection provided information on AMR contamination data across plant production value chains, contributing to the development of food safety risk models. Through these efforts, the project aimed to promote the implementation of science-based international guidelines and contribute to harmonizing risk assessment approaches. -
ProjectFactsheetAppui à la lutte contre les maladies, ravageurs et les parasites d’anacardier (Anacardium Occidentale) en Guinée-Bissau - TCP/GBS/3801 2025
Also available in:
No results found.La Guinée-Bissau est l'un des plus grands producteurs et exportateurs de cajou en Afrique, et son économie dépend largement de cette culture. En effet le cajou représentait plus de 90 pour cent de ses exportations en 2020. Il contribue également à la réduction de la pauvreté et à la sécurité alimentaire des petits exploitants: en 2010, les noix de cajou représentaient 26 pour cent du revenu des ménages dirigés par des femmes et 35 pour cent de ceux dirigés par des hommes, faisant de cette culture la principale source de revenus pour les ménages. Cependant, des ravageurs et parasites affectent régulièrement les vergers d'anacardiers, entraînant une faible production et une mauvaise qualité des noix de cajou. Les maladies, notamment l'anthracnose et la gommose, sont plus visibles en saison sèche. La gommose, particulièrement préoccupante, a été détectée dans toutes les régions. Les vergers de la région de Biombo sont également touchés par des parasites de la famille des Lorantacées, réduisant la productivité. De plus, des ravageurs tels qu'Analeptes trifasciata, Apate terebrans et Zonocerus variegatus causent des dégâts dans toutes les régions.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
