MeetingMeeting documentAsegurar la comunicación e interacción eficaces entre los asesores sobre los riesgos de inocuidad de los alimentos y los encargados de la gestión de riesgos 2002Los expertos de la Consulta de Expertos de la OMS presentaron los siguientes comentarios principales: 1. Las Autoridades de Inocuidad Alimentaria de los Países Miembros deben estructurar su(s) sistema(s) basado(s) en un enfoque de riesgos que incluya comunicación e interacción apropiadas entre los evaluadores de riesgos, los administradores de riesgos y las partes interesadas (stakeholders). 2. La separación funcional de la evaluación de riesgos y la gestión de riesgos es esencial para l a realización de actividades de análisis de riesgos. La independencia, la transparencia y la solidez de los análisis y el asesoramiento científicos son determinantes esenciales de su credibilidad. No obstante, el diálogo efectivo entre evaluadores de riesgos, administradores de riesgos y otras partes interesadas es esencial para maximizar la utilidad de los hallazgos de las evaluaciones y para asegurar que se cumplen los objetivos tanto científicos como de la sociedad. 3. Con respecto a las interacciones entre administradores de riesgos y evaluadores de riesgos, se utiliza la terminología adoptada o en discusión de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius de FAO/OMS. Lo mismo se aplica a la descripción del análisis de riesgos.

ArticleJournal articleNurturing Soil Life through Agroforestry – The Roles of Trees in the Ecological Intensification of Agriculture 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Soil resources constitute the very foundation of agriculture, so sustainable agriculture is inherently dependent on soil health. Soil health reflects the capacity of soil to respond beneficially to agricultural management, maintaining both agricultural production and the provision of varying ecosystem services, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity conservation in the long term. Soil health depends on the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the soil that are required for plant growth and development. Ecological intensification differs from current strategies for agricultural intensification by embracing agroecological transitions to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. This chapter discusses the pivotal role that trees play in building and maintaining the soil health and functional resilience that are required for the ecological intensification of agriculture. It summarizes the current knowledge about functions and impacts of trees on soil health, and highlights the tree/soil biodiversity interactions that drive these functions. -
DocumentTechnical reportKava: A Review of the Safety of Traditional and Recreational Beverage Consumption. Technical Report 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Kava beverage has a long history of consumption in the South Pacific and has an important role in traditional community ceremonies. In recent times, it has become more widely consumed as a recreational beverage in both the South Pacific islander community as well as in the wider international community. Within these communities, kava is considered to be a safe and enjoyable beverage, based on a long tradition of use and little evidence of harm. This review has examined existing data relevant to the safety of kava beverage and identified any gaps in the available data, as well as steps that are needed to ensure the safe use of kava beverage. Consideration has been given to the method of preparation of kava beverage, the toxicity of its chemical components, the levels of consumption and the adverse health effects observed in consumers. Consideration has also been given to the relevance of the cases of hepatotoxicity that have been associated with consumption of kava medicinal products in non–Pacific island countries. -
