DocumentEmergency responseReport of ASEAN Regional Meeting "Developing National Food Safety Emergency Response Plans – Sharing Experiences and Lessons Learnt
Bangkok, Thailand (27-28 June 2012)
2012Also available in:
No results found.To assist member countries prepare themselves to deal with such food safety emergencies, FAO and WHO prepared a framework for developing National Food Safety Emergency Response (FSER) Plans. To support countries in applying the framework, a pilot for the development of a FSER Plan was carried out in Thailand during 2011-2012. FAO also assisted Bangladesh in developing its Food Safety Emergency Response Plan in 2012 under the project Improving Food Safety, Quality and Food Control in Bangladesh. With these two recent experiences of Thailand and Bangladesh in the region, it was decided to share the experiences in developing FSER Plans with other ASEAN countries, including lessons learnt in the process. -
MeetingMeeting documentCommunicating food safety regulations and risk management: Involvement and pariticipation of consumers and other stakeholders - THE UK EXPERIENCE
Conference Room Document submitted by the United Kingdom
2001Also available in:
No results found.The Food Standards Agency recognises the importance and value in involving consumers and other stakeholders effectively in the decision-making process. The involvement of key stakeholders at an early stage has helped the Agency to develop effective policies. The Agency recognises that it can be difficult for consumers to contribute effectively. The Agency has implemented a number of initiatives targeted specifically at helping consumers. In addition the Agency recognises that being open an d accessible has helped build trust in the decision-making process and helped to stimulate a wider debate on food issues. -

FAO's work to tackle the climate crisis
2023Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population. FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.But none of this will ultimately succeed unless the world commits to a significant increase in the quality and quantity of climate finance. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureStandard operating procedure for soil available phosphorus - Olsen method 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This procedure is suitable for calcareous, alkaline, neutral, and slightly acidic soils containing CaPO4, since the calcium concentration in the solution is suppressed by the precipitation of CaCO3, increasing PO4 concentration in solution. Neutral and slightly acid soils (pH 6.0 to 7.0) may contain both Ca- and Al-phosphates. The NaHCO3 extractant can remove Ca-phosphates and phosphate adsorbed on the surface of calcium and magnesium carbonates along with Al-phosphates and is considered the most suitable extractant for these soils. -
BookletCorporate general interestStandard operating procedure for soil nitrogen - Kjeldahl method 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This standard operating procedure (SOP) describes, in general terms, the quantification of the Kjeldahl nitrogen(KjN) content in soil samples. The advantages of this method are based on its robustness, low initial cost of the equipment and extensive application. However, there are disadvantages in using this method compared to others, for example, the use of potentially hazardous reagents that require consideration for safe operation are utilized, alongside the generation of hazardous waste and on-going cost of consumables, which can be mitigated via modified protocols that use lower quantities of reagents. Another limitation of this method is that it measures organic N and mineral N in the form of ammonium cation (NH4+), therefore, to measure the total N, the mineral N in the form of NO3- must be measured separately
