MeetingMeeting documentMecanismo para el intercambio de información oficial sobre inocuidad de los alimentos, y salud animal y vegetal 2002En el presente documento se describe una iniciativa de la FAO destinada a proporcionar un mecanismo único – el Portal de la bioseguridad – para el intercambio de información oficial sobre inocuidad de los alimentos y salud de los animales y las plantas, en relación con el mandato de la FAO. Se ofrecerá información proveniente de los organismos nacionales e internacionales que mantienen la "propiedad" de la información. La FAO aportará el mecanismo y el apoyo técnico al Portal para que la comunic ación y el acceso fácil a la información oficial puedan llevarse a cabo de manera coordinada. Se exponen ejemplos del tipo de información a la que podría accederse desde el Portal de la bioseguridad, y se indica la probable asistencia técnica que la FAO podría prestar para facilitar dicho acceso. El acceso al Portal de la bioseguridad que será general y gratuito, aunque se podrían crear algunos campos de acceso restringido a los Estados Miembros, se basa en la tecnología de Internet, con objeto de asegurar una utilización amplia y una eficacia en función de los costos.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -

Codex standards are international food texts, i.e. standards, codes of practice, codes of hygienic practice, guidelines and other recommendations, established to protect the health of the consumers and to ensure fair practices in the food trade. The collection of food standards and related texts adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission is known as the Codex Alimentarius.
