    The document contains food additive specification monographs, analytical methods, and other information prepared at the ninety-fifth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which was held virtually from 6 to 17 June and 22 June 2022. The specification monographs provide information on the identity and purity of food additives used directly in foods or in food production. The main three objectives of these specifications are to identify the food additive that has been subjected to testing for safety, to ensure that the additives are of the quality required for use in food or in processing and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice. This publication and other documents produced by JECFA contain information that is useful to all those who work with or are interested in food additives and their safe use in food. At its 95th meeting, JECFA developed full specifications for one processing aid (lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus and Fusarium Oxysporum expressed in Aspergillus oryzae (JECFA95-7)) and two flavouring agents (trans-4-tert-butylcyclohexanol (2263), caryophylla-3(4), 8-dien-5-ol (2264)). JECFA revised the specifications for spirulina extract (INS 134). Moreover, JECFA developed tentative specifications for seven processing aids (α-amylase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis (JECFA95-1), α-amylase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis (JECFA95-2), α-amylase from Rhizomucor pusillus expressed in Aspergillus niger (JECFA95 3), amyloglucosidase from Rasamsonia emersonii expressed in Aspergillus niger (JECFA95-4), asparaginase from Pyrococcus furiosus expressed in Bacillus subtilis (JECFA95-5), β-amylase from Bacillus flexus expressed in Bacillus licheniformis (JECFA95-6), xylanase from Bacillus licheniformis expressed in Bacillus licheniformis (JECFA95-9)).

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    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.

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

    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.
