No results found.According to the World Trade Organization statistics for 2014, food products comprise the third most valuable commodity group traded globally, and imports constitute a significant proportion of food supplies. With the annual trade in food growing exponentially, imported food controls need to be strengthened to protect consumer health and ensure fair trade. In 2017, the Governments of Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines and Sri Lanka worked under the FAO project entitled “Strengthening national capacity for risk-based food import control within a One Health framework” to improve national imported food control systems and ensure they are aligned with the relevant international guidelines developed by Codex Alimentarius. The project significantly contributed to one of the FAO’s Strategic Objectives, “Enabling inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems” (SO4), as all of the relevant national authorities have initiated the employment of systematic and inclusive approaches in effective imported food control. -
ProjectFactsheetSupport to the Strengthening of Food Control Systems in Ghana - TCP/GHA/3702 2023

No results found.Consuming unsafe food carries risks that can have a major detrimental effect on trade, development, economic progress and health. It creates a vicious cycle of disease and malnutrition, particularly affecting infants, young children, as well as the elderly. In addition to posing serious health risks to consumers, food-borne diseases often cause substantial economic losses. As a result, identifying ways to improve the food systems in the country to reduce risks and protect consumers has become urgent. Areas of intervention include (but are not limited to) the meat industry, food processors, as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises. Despite the important role the meat industry plays in the agricultural economy in Ghana, it faces profound challenges, such as the safe production, processing and marketing of meat and meat products.

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.

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.
