DocumentOther documentSynthetic Report - Food Control Systems in Focus: Regional Priorities and Strategic Action
GCP/GLO/949/EC PROJECT “Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance” - September 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report synthesizes key findings, strategic priorities, and capacity-building needs identified through national Food Control System (FCS) assessments and strategic action plans developed by ten countries participating in the project GCP/GLO/949/EC, "Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance." It highlights common strengths and challenges across countries, as well as variations in national strategies, offering a regional perspective on priority areas for strengthening FCSs.The report aligns national-level actions with the strategic objectives of the African Union, illustrating how country-specific efforts contribute to broader continental goals in food safety and trade facilitation. It supports the FAO Strategic Framework by promoting better production, nutrition, environment, and life through safer and more effective food systems.Targeted at policymakers, regulatory authorities, regional bodies, and development partners, the report provides a foundation for harmonized capacity-building and regional collaboration. It identifies cross-cutting trends and shared priorities, helping guide evidence-based policymaking and coordinated technical support.By facilitating knowledge sharing and informed planning, this report aims to strengthen regional cooperation, enhance the visibility of FAO and its partners, and support the development of tailored capacity-building initiatives. Ultimately, it contributes to a more unified, resilient, and effective approach to food control across the region. -
Book (series)Technical bookThe State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2025 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This 2025 edition of the GFCM flagship publication The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date review of fisheries and aquaculture status and trends in the Mediterranean and Black Sea region. The sixth installment of this report is the most ambitious to date and comes as a result of an unprecedented collaborative effort across the region. It reflects incremental scientific work, strengthened monitoring and significant innovations in data collection and analysis. The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries 2025 expands temporal coverage and incorporates new data on both fisheries and aquaculture, providing a clear and accurate picture of trends and challenges across the region and assessing progress towards the targets set by the GFCM 2030 Strategy for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The report begins with an overview of aquatic food systems in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, before diving into a detailed analysis of capture fisheries production, bycatch and the status of fisheries resources in Chapters one through three. Chapter four explores the rapidly expanding aquaculture sector in the region. Chapter five examines the human dimension of fisheries and aquaculture through socioeconomic data and Chapters six and seven highlight the measures taken and the efforts needed to secure the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in the region. This report aims to provide objective, accurate and complete information to support evidence-based decision-making, monitor progress towards sustainability goals and inspire renewed commitments. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookCarbon neutral tea production in China – Three pilot case studies 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector is responsible for about 25 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but can also be an important part of the solution to climate change, through adaptation and mitigation efforts.As part of its Strategy on Climate Change, FAO is developing the low carbon agricultural commodities approach , based on emission reductions along entire agricultural value chains, with tea and its business model being the first commodity to be evaluated. This report, developed in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), assesses the potential of lowcarbon and carbon neutral approaches to tea production. As the largest producer and consumer of tea in the world, China is collaborating with FAO to develop an overall framework and minimum standards for sustainable tea production. This report, based on the case studies carried in three tea fields in Southeast China, provides evidence regarding the results, impacts and achievements of the pilot conducted by the Chinese Academy of Agriculture Sciences (CAAS). The report develops a methodology for accounting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an estimation of the mitigation and carbon sequestration potential based on the experiences in the pilot tea gardens in China. The report also sets up the key elements of the enabling environment in order to promote the replication of the model to other countries and the base work for a potential low carbon and/or carbon neutral tea certification.
