Book (stand-alone)Technical bookAlimentos obtenidos por medios biotecnológicos modernos
Segunda edición
2009Los textos en esta publicación representan el resultado del trabajo de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius sobre los principios y directrices para la evaluación de la inocuidad de los alimentos obtenidos por medios biotecnológicos modernos. Estos textos brindan una orientación sobre cómo evaluar la inocuidad de los alimentos en cuestión y de esta manera proteger la salud de los consumidores. Esta segunda edición incluye los textos adoptados por la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius hasta 2008. La Comisión del Codex Alimentarius es un órgano intergubernamental que integran más de 180 miembros, creado en el marco del Programa Conjunto sobre Normas Alimentarias que establecieron la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) con el objetivo de proteger la salud de los consumidores y asegurar prácticas equitativas en el comercio de alimentos. La Comisión también promueve la coordinación de todos los trabajos sobre normas alimentarias emprendidos por las organizaciones internacionales gubernamentales y no gubernamentales. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookAlimentos obtenidos por medios biotecnológicos 20041. Para muchos alimentos, el grado de inocuidad generalmente aceptado por la sociedad refleja un historial de consumo seguro por los seres humanos. Es sabido que en un gran número de casos el conocimiento necesario para la gestión de los riesgos asociados a los alimentos se ha obtenido a través de su consumo por un largo período de tiempo. Los alimentos se consideran, en general, seguros cuando se toman las debidas precauciones durante su crecimiento, producción primaria, elaboración, almacenami ento, manipulación y preparación. 2. Los peligros asociados a los alimentos se someten al proceso de análisis de riesgos de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius con el objeto de evaluar los riesgos potenciales y, de ser necesario, crear métodos para controlar esos riesgos. La realización del análisis de riesgos se guía por las decisiones generales de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius (CAC)1 así como por los Principios de Aplicación Práctica del Codex para el Análisis de Riesgos.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The 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.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
