No results found.The livestock sector is one of the fastest-growing subsectors in agriculture. Its development has greatly contributed to economic growth and poverty reduction in Southeast Asia. At the same time, the unprecedented increase in emerging and re-emerging animal diseases has had a profound impact on animal productivity and production in the region and on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. This publication reports on the outcome of a conference on the environmental animal health management initi ative (EAHMI) for enhanced smallholder production in Southeast Asia convened in Makati City, Philippines from 18 to 19 September 2014. The conference included a plenary session, five technical sessions and a poster gallery exhibit to showcase best practices and lessons learned in use of environmental animal health management strategies in the region and the way forward. -

No results found.The annual Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues was held in Berlin, Germany, from 18 to 27 September 2018. The FAO Panel of Experts had met in preparatory sessions from 13 to 17 September 2018. The Meeting was held in pursuance of recommendations made by previous Meetings and accepted by the governing bodies of FAO and WHO that studies should be undertaken jointly by experts to evaluate possible hazards to humans arising from the occurrence of pesticide residues in foods. During the meeting the FAO Panel of Experts was responsible for reviewing pesticide use patterns (use of good agricultural practices), data on the chemistry and composition of the pesticides and methods of analysis for pesticide residues and for estimating the maximum residue levels that might occur as a result of the use of the pesticides according to good agricultural use practices. The WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing toxicological and related data and for estimating, where possible and appropriate, acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs, maximum residue levels, and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the respective agencies and other interested parties. -
