Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureQuadripartite One Health intelligence scoping study
Enhancing One Health intelligence to strengthen global health security: Preliminary high-level findings
2022Also available in:
No results found.This flyer highlights the preliminary findings of the Quadripartite One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) project, which will come to an end on 31 July 2022. It also details the evidence base for the preliminary findings and the next steps in the OHISS project. Since the launch of the OHISS in December 2021, the study has engaged with experts, groups and initiatives across the animal, human and ecosystem health sectors, to support the development of a global One Health Information System. The OHISS will use the findings to recommend an operational framework for a global One Health intelligence and early warning system. The preliminary high-level findings of the Quadripartite OHISS are taken from the project’s Interim Report covering the period of December 2021 to March 2022. A final report, outlining the overall high-level findings from the project, will be produced after July 2022. -

Actions to develop an effective Global One Health Intelligence System, August 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.The One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) was an initiative of the Quadripartite alliance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE). In June 2021, the G7 Carbis Bay Health Declaration requested that the Quadripartite alliance conduct the OHISS to identify opportunities for further technical harmonization of their systems to strengthen One Health Intelligence and to improve global health security. The OHISS was funded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and was coordinated by FAO, as the lead agency for the project. The Quadripartite alliance is working to reduce the global health threats at the animal-human-environment interface and supporting the adoption of a One Health approach. Global health security will be improved by developing the ability to prevent, predict, detect and respond to emerging and ongoing threats. This brochure outlines the findings and recommendations from OHISS. -

No results found.The One Health Intelligence Scoping Study (OHISS) is an initiative of the Quadripartite alliance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE). In June 2021, the G7 Carbis Bay Health Declaration requested that the Quadripartite conduct a scoping study to identify opportunities for further technical harmonization of their systems to strengthen One Health Intelligence and to improve global health security. OHISS was funded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and coordinated by FAO. The following foundational activities were carried out to assess needs and opportunities: an extensive literature review; engagement with international experts and diverse stakeholders; review of national critical competencies and ‘best practice’ case studies; an assessment of Quadripartite activities and prioritized early warning systems selected according to their potential to contribute to One Health intelligence; and a hazard identification exercise (risk scaping) to define One Health scope and priorities. For the identified priority hazards, a series of workshops were conducted with international experts to assess the ‘risk landscape’, identifying and prioritizing multiple potential monitoring points. The key recommendation of OHISS is that immediate actions are taken to develop a global One Health Intelligence System (OHIS). The global OHIS would establish a framework to link, strengthen and further develop One Health intelligence activities, and it would be led by the Quadripartite organizations. The development the global OHIS will support the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action, and the national and global needs for early warning of ongoing and emerging threats. A Quadripartite-led approach to global One Health Intelligence will help to reduce the threats to global health security posed by risks across the One Health spectrum, including environmental changes.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileA multi-billion-dollar opportunity – Repurposing agricultural support to transform food systems 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Public support mechanisms for agriculture in many cases hinder the transformation towards healthier, more sustainable, equitable, and efficient food systems, thus actively steering us away from meeting the Sustainable Development Goals and targets of the Paris Agreement. This report sets out the compelling case for repurposing harmful agricultural producer support to reverse this situation, by optimizing the use of scarce public resources, strengthening economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, and ultimately driving a food systems transformation that can support global sustainable development commitments. The report provides policymakers with an updated estimate of past and current agricultural producer support for 88 countries, projected up until 2030. The trends emerging from the analysis are a clear call for action at country, regional and global levels to phase out the most distortive, environmentally and socially harmful support, such as price incentives and coupled subsidies, and redirecting it towards investments in public goods and services for agriculture, such as research and development and infrastructure, as well as decoupled fiscal subsidies. Overall, the analysis highlights that, while removing and/or reducing harmful agricultural support is necessary, repurposing initiatives that include measures to minimize policy trade-offs will be needed to ensure a beneficial outcome overall. The report confirms that, while a few countries have started repurposing and reforming agricultural support, broader, deeper, and faster reforms are needed for food systems transformation. Thus, it provides guidance (in six steps) on how governments can repurpose agricultural producer support – and the reforms this will take. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
