BookletFlagshipIn Brief: The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2017 – SOFI 2017
A shorter version of the FAO flagship publication The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2017 (SOFI), the In Brief is aimed at the media, policy makers and a more general public. SOFI 2017 warns that the long-term declining trend in undernourishment seems to have come to a halt and may have in fact reversed, largely on account of the increased number of ongoing conflicts and the adverse impacts of climate change. Meanwhile, though progress continues to be made in reducing child malnutrition, overweight and obesity are a growing concern in most parts of the world. These and other findings are detailed in this year’s report, which for the first time is published by an expanded partnership, with UNICEF and WHO now joining FAO, IFAD and WFP.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideFood quality and safety systems. A training manual on food hygiene and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. 1998The manual is structured to provide essential information in a standardized, logical and systematic manner while adhering to effective teaching and learning strategies. It is composed of three sections. Section 1 reviews principles and methods of training; Section 2 introduces and elucidates the Codex Alimentarius General Principles of Food Hygiene; and Section 3 explains the HACCP system and its implementation. Each section is made up of specific training modules which can be combined and custo mized to meet the specific needs of the students. FAO has prepared this manual in an effort to harmonize the approach to training in the HACCP system based on the already harmonized texts and guidelines of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It is clear that HACCP systems can only be effective when they are a part of a broader food quality and safety programme based on the General Principles of Food Hygiene and good manufacturing practices. Consequently, these aspects of quality and safety controls are incorporated in the training materials. We invite readers' comments and suggestions for improving this manual as part of our continuing effort to provide high-quality advice and reference materials to FAO member countries.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
