Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSafety evaluation of certain food additives and contaminants: Prepared by the eightieth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA. Supplement 2: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids
WHO Food Additives Series, No. 71-S2
2020Also available in:
No results found.This volume contains monographs prepared at the eightieth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met inRome, Italy, from 16 to 25 June 2015. The toxicological and dietary exposure monograph in this volume summarizes the safety and dietary exposure data on a contaminant group (pyrrolizidine alkaloids) discussed at the eightieth meeting. Monographs on seven food additives discussed at that meeting have been previously published in the WHO Food Additives series (FAS 71), and a monograph on a second contaminant group (non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls) has been published as a separate supplement in the WHO Food Additives series. This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportNinety-third report of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives – Evaluation of certain contaminants in food 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This report represents the conclusions of a Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee convened to evaluate the toxicological data on T-2 and HT-2 and the combined dietary exposure was re-evaluated. At its ninetieth meeting, JECFA had reviewed the information that had become available after the fifty-sixth meeting on T-2 and HT-2 concerning analytical methods, sampling, effect of processing, prevention and control, occurrence in food commodities and dietary exposure. The report summarizes the main conclusions of the Committee regarding the group acute reference dose and tolerable daily intake for T-2, HT-2 and DAS, as well as the risk characterization and recommendations. -

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)Technical reportSustainable nitrogen management in agrifood systems 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Nitrogen is an essential element in the natural environment, forming critical compounds necessary for all living organisms. As it cycles through air, soil, and water, nitrogen is fundamental to ecosystem functionality. However, improper management of nitrogen in agrifood systems can degrade air, water, and soil quality, while excessive extraction from soils leads to soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and exacerbation of climate change. This FAO report provides a comprehensive overview of nitrogen's role, and the challenges associated with its use in agrifood systems. It explores solutions for improving nitrogen management in crop and livestock systems to enhance nitrogen use efficiency while reducing pollution. Additionally, it highlights the potential of circular bioeconomy approaches to optimize nitrogen management and minimize nitrogen losses. By adopting balanced nitrogen practices, agrifood systems can be transformed to ensure food security, improved nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods for farmers while minimizing negative environmental impacts. -
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。
