ArticleJournal articleNPKGRIDS: a global georeferenced dataset of N, P2O5), and K2O fertilizer application rates for 173 crops 2024
Also available in:
No results found.We introduce NPKGRIDS, a new geospatial dataset, providing for the first time data on application rates for all three main plant nutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P, in terms of phosphorus pentoxide, P2O5) and potassium (K, in terms of potassium oxide, K2O) across 173 crops as of 2020, with a geospatial resolution of 0.05° (approximately 5.6 km at the equator). Development of NPKGRIDS adopted a data fusion approach to integrate crop mask information with eight published datasets of fertilizer application rates, compiled from either georeferenced data or national and subnational statistics. Furthermore, the total applied mass of N, P2O5, and K2O were benchmarked against the country level information from FAO and the International Fertilizers Association (IFA) and validated against data available from National Statistical Offices (NSOs). NPKGRIDS can be used in global modelling, and decision and policy making to help maximize crop yields while reducing environmental impacts. -
DocumentOther documentSetting up a Global Linked Data Catalog of Datasets for Agriculture 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The movement to share data has been on the rise in the last decade and lately in the agricultural domain. Similarly platforms for publishing scientific and sta-tistical datasets have sprouted and have improved visibility and availability of datasets. Yet there are still constraints in making datasets discoverable and re-usable. Commonly agreed semantics, authority lists to index datasets and stand-ard formats and protocols to expose data are now essential. This paper explains how the CIARD RING provides a global linked data catalog of datasets for ag-riculture. The first part of this paper will describe the Linked Data layer of the CIARD RING focusing on the data model, semantics used and the CIARD RING LOD publication. The second part will provide examples of re-use of da-ta from the RING. The paper concludes by describing the future steps in the de-velopment of the CIARD RING. -
Book (series)Working paperEmbedding CROPGRIDS into FAO geodata platforms 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Geospatial data of crop distribution are needed for modelling and monitoring the status and trends of productive and sustainable agriculture at subnational scales. This paper documents the data architecture and Python code development work implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that are needed to operationalize CROPGRIDS – a recently published and novel data fusion model for high-resolution global crop maps. The work undertaken demonstrates how methodological innovations from the research domain can be transformed into robust operational tools for global agricultural data and statistics.By delivering harmonized, high-resolution, and policy-relevant crop data, this initiative supports FAO’s efforts to provide up-to-date global data on food and agriculture.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPlant-based food products, precision fermentation and 3D food printing
Food Safety Foresight Technical Meeting Report, 13–17 November 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.New food sources and production systems (NFPS) is a rapidly evolving and innovative sector that covers a range of foods from plant-based food products to products arising from technological innovations such as cell-based food production and precision fermentation.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to help prepare its Members for the arrival of NFPS products or new foods on the market by providing sufficient information to suitably protect the health of consumers and implement fair practices in trade. Using foresight approaches, FAO has been monitoring this emerging sector and evaluating the opportunities and challenges it brings for agrifood systems, especially in the context of food safety.Based on this work, three focus areas were selected for a Food Safety Foresight Technical Meeting held at FAO headquarters in Rome from 13 to 17 November 2023. These areas – plant-based food products (that mimic animal-derived foods), precision fermentation and 3D food printing (3DFP) – were chosen based on their growing popularity in the NFPS space, and their relevance to food safety. -
Book (stand-alone)High-profileوضع المرأة في النظم الزراعية والغذائية 2024يستخدم تقرير وضع المرأة في نظم الأغذية الزراعية بيانات وتحليلات جديدة واسعة النطاق لتقديم صورة شاملة عن مشاركة المرأة وفوائدها والتحديات التي تواجهها في العمل في نظم الأغذية الزراعية على مستوى العالم. ويبين التقرير كيف أن زيادة تمكين المرأة والمساواة بين الجنسين في النظم الزراعية الغذائية يعزز رفاه المرأة ورفاه أسرتها، ويخلق فرصًا للنمو الاقتصادي وزيادة الدخل والإنتاجية والقدرة على الصمود.ويأتي التقرير بعد أكثر من عقد من الزمن على نشر تقرير حالة الأغذية والزراعة 2010-2011: المرأة في الزراعة - سد الفجوة بين الجنسين من أجل التنمية. وقد وثّق تقرير حالة الأغذية والزراعة 2010-2011 التكاليف الباهظة لعدم المساواة بين الجنسين ليس فقط بالنسبة إلى النساء بل أيضًا بالنسبة إلى الزراعة والاقتصاد والمجتمع على نطاق أوسع، مما يجعل من الضروري سدّ الفجوات القائمة بين الجنسين في الوصول إلى الأصول والمدخلات والخدمات الزراعية. وبالانتقال إلى ما هو أبعد من الزراعة، فإن وضع المرأة في النظم الزراعية الغذائية لا يعكس فقط كيف أن المساواة بين الجنسين وتمكين المرأة أمران أساسيان للانتقال نحو نظم زراعية غذائية مستدامة ومرنة، بل أيضاً كيف يمكن أن يسهم تحويل النظم الزراعية الغذائية في تحقيق المساواة بين الجنسين وتمكين المرأة.ويوفر تحليلاً شاملاً للأدلة المتوفرة حول المساواة بين الجنسين وتمكين المرأة في النظم الزراعية الغذائية التي تم إنتاجها على مدى العقد الماضي. كما يزود التقرير صانعي السياسات والجهات الفاعلة في مجال التنمية باستعراض مستفيض لما نجح في هذا المجال، ويسلط الضوء على الوعد بالانتقال من سدّ فجوات جنسانية محددة نحو اعتماد نهج تحويلية جنسانية تعالج صراحةً القيود الهيكلية الرسمية وغير الرسمية التي تعيق المساواة. ويختتم التقرير بتوصيات محددة بشأن الطريق إلى الأمام.

Book (series)Technical studyState of research on the interactions between food additives, the gut microbiome and the host
A food safety perspective
2025Also available in:
No results found.A scientific literature review was conducted with a focus on food safety to critically assess the current research on the impact of selected food additives on, and their interactions with the gut microbiome, as well as the resulting implications for host health. The review's main goals were to:> Gather and assess the quantity, quality, and reliability of scientific information,> Identify research limitations, knowledge gaps, and related needs,> Explore the applicability of microbiome data in food safety chemical risk assessments.This review concludes on recommendations to guide and improve microbiome science in risk assessment. Through this work, the Agrifood Systems and Food Safety Division contributes to the FAO’s role of improving food safety by encouraging high-quality research to produce robust data, promoting effective scientific communication, and investigating how knowledge regarding gut microbiome-food additive interactions could potentially support the modernization of food safety chemical risk assessments.
