    Introduction to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) 2023
    Also available in:

    This guidance document introduces the seven principles of Hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) according to the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene (CXC 1-1969), and how to apply them using the 12 steps to enhance the control of significant hazards in a food business and ensure food safety. Hazard analysis and critical control point is an important part of food safety management. It is a globally recognized, systematic and science-based approach to food safety that addresses biological, chemical and physical hazards throughout the food chain from primary production to final consumption. The HACCP approach focuses on control measures for significant hazards rather than relying only on end-product inspection and testing. A food business should only implement HACCP once it has established solid prerequisite programmes of food safety management, as described in the sections on Good hygiene practices (GHP). Implementing HACCP may be challenging for some businesses. However, HACCP principles can be applied with flexibility in individual operations, and businesses may use external resources or adapt a generic HACCP plan to their specific circumstances. This publication is part of the FAO Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Toolbox for Food Safety series. The toolbox is a central repository of practical guidance and resource materials to strengthen food safety capacities, both public and private, in order to develop and implement food safety management programmes in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene guidelines (CXC 1-1969). Care was taken to consider the challenges faced by small food business operators and primary producers in low- and middle-income countries, and those with an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and capacity building organizations.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018

    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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The 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.
