Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme, ALINORM 05/28/41
2005The FAO/WHO Codex Alimentarius Commission is the unique United Nations body responsible for establishing international food standards aimed at protecting the health of consumers and ensuring fair practices in the food trade. The food standards, codes of practice and other guidelines and recommendations adopted by the Commission form the Codex Alimentarius: the international food code. The Codex Alimentarius Commission envisages a world afforded the highest attainable levels of consumer protectio n, including food safety and quality. The 28th Session, held from 4 to 9 July 2005, adopted a number of new or revised standards and related texts as well as several amendments to the Rules of Procedure, pursuant to the process of reform of its structure and procedures to meet the increased expectations of governments and stakeholders for increased efficiency and relevance of its work. This is the report of that meeting, adopted by the Commission itself on its closing day. It includes a full l ist of all participants and a list of all the standards and related texts adopted by the Commission. -

The Twenty-eighth Session of GFCM was attended by delegates from thirteen of the twenty-four Members of the Commission. The Commission reviewed the intersessional activities, especially the conclusions and advices of the sixth session of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The Commission urged Members to ensure the participation of scientists in SAC activities and emphasized need for devising integrated management advice based on multispecies stock assessments and on the socio-economic stat us of concerned fisheries. It acknowledged the importance for SAC of the FAO Regional projects and recommended their continuation and geographical extension. The Commission noted the ratification by 13 Members of the amendments to the GFCM Agreement relative to the autonomous budget and agreed to hold an extraordinary session as soon as possible after the deposit of the sixteenth Instrument of acceptance of the amendments. The Commission favoured a step by step approach for implementing the inte rnational plan of action to combat, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IPOA-IUU) in the Mediterranean. The Commission renewed its commitment to implement Recommendation GFCM/2002/1 on the management of selected demersal and small pelagic species and adopted the programme of work of its subsidiaries for 2004. It also renewed the mandate of its Bureau.

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. -

Towards improving affordability of healthy diets
2023Also available in:
Regional Overview present the regional food security and nutrition situation, including trends of undernourishment, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, together with other indicators that could help the understanding of the causes of hunger and malnutrition. This edition offers a regional overview of the socioeconomic state of the region; national and regional data and trends regarding the costs and affordability of healthy diets; the possible drivers behind the high cost of healthy diets and their unaffordability; and introduces policies and investments around the region that aim to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and improve the affordability of healthy diets. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
