Book (series)Technical studyInstrumento de evaluación del sistema de control de los alimentos: Dimensión B - Funciones de control 2019La dimensión B se centra en los procesos y los resultados de las actividades de control inherentes al sistema nacional de control de los alimentos. Esta dimensión, revisa las funciones de control que ejercen las autoridades competentes sobre los empresarios del sector alimentario (ESA) - ya sea a nivel nacional, de importación o de exportación - para garantizar la seguridad y la calidad de los alimentos para los consumidores nacionales a lo largo de la cadena alimentaria y las prácticas de comercio justo. También mapea las funciones y los mecanismos de control necesarios a nivel de los suministros de los alimentos, para identificar, monitorear, predecir y manejar los peligros de inocuidad alimentaria y los riesgos emergentes, y para hacer frente a emergencias alimentarias. Los principales mecanismos que deberían implementarse incluyen programas de recolección de datos sobre productos alimenticios (también conocidos como programas de monitoreo), programas de recolección de datos sobre enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos (también conocidos como programas de vigilancia), así como programas destinados a gestionar emergencias de seguridad alimentaria.

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. -
BookletCorporate general interestTransportation – Section 9 2023
Also available in:
This guidance document provides detailed information on how to protect food from becoming contaminated or damaged during transport. During transportation food can be subjected to contamination, damage and conditions that can compromise its safety. For foods requiring temperature controls, temperature irregularities during transport can cause microorganisms to grow to unsafe levels (or cause toxins to develop). Poor transportation conditions can erase the safety assurances of effective good hygiene practices implemented in previous stages of the food chain. This publication is part of the FAO Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Toolbox for Food Safety series. The toolbox is a central repository of practical guidance and resource materials to strengthen food safety capacities, both public and private, in order to develop and implement food safety management programmes in accordance with the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene guidelines (CXC 1-1969). Care was taken to consider the challenges faced by small food business operators and primary producers in low- and middle-income countries, and those with an institutional role, such as government officials, academia and capacity building organizations. -
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.
