No Thumbnail AvailableDocumentOther documentUrban forestry: cities, trees and people 1987Given the monumental challenges facing today's world - widespread poverty, urban blight, illiteracy, tropical deforestation and the threat of nuclear war, to name only a few - it may seem quite irrelevant to devote an issue of Unasylva to the rather tame-sounding subject of urban forestry. To millions of homeless or starving or unemployed people in the urban centres of the developing world, how important can urban forestry really be? In truth, urban forestry, as sometimes practiced, does tend to benefit the well-to-do at the expense of the underprivileged. But this does not necessarily have to be the case. In fact, urban forestry - like rural-oriented community forestry - offers an opportunity to bring the benefits of trees directly to the people. While these benefits may not be so familiar as - or may be quite different from - those in a rural setting, they nonetheless exist.

Book (stand-alone)High-profile女性在农业粮食体系中的状况 2024本报告不仅详细概述了在农业部门工作的妇女的状况，而且更广泛地概述了在农业粮食体系所有部门工作的妇女的状况。报告显示，在农业粮食体系中，为妇女，尤其是农村妇女创造就业机会，可改善她们的福祉，并为经济增长、提高收入和生产力以及增强复原力创造有利条件。该报告是在《2010–11年粮食及农业状况》出版十多年后发布的。《2010–11年粮食及农业状况：农业中的女性 — 填性别鸿沟，促农业发展》呼吁消除在获得农业产品、投入和服务方面的性别差距，并分析了性别不平等不仅给妇女和农业部门，而且给更广泛的经济和整个社会带来的巨大代价。除了2010–2011年版的中心主题外，今年的报告不仅强调了性别平等和妇女赋权在向可持续和有复原力的农业粮食体系过渡中发挥的关键作用，还介绍了农业粮食体系中存在的性别平等和妇女赋权问题，以及农业粮食体系的这一变革反过来可对这两个目标做出的贡献。本报告详细分析了过去10年中有关农业粮食体系中性别平等和妇女赋权问题的数据，还向决策者和发展行动者详细介绍了哪些措施行之有效，并就前进的道路提出了具体建议。

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. -
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.
