Book (stand-alone)GuidelineTraining manual – Good agricultural practices (GAP) guidelines
Volumes 1 and 2
2022Also available in:
Food safety is of immense importance and has been a major concern of the consumers, more than its nutritive value and quality. The global trade in food commodities has further necessitated compliance to food safety, hygiene and environmental sustainability. Food commodities produced through climate-smart ways in terms of compliance to good agricultural and environmentally sustainable standards can enhance produce/product competitiveness in the national and international markets. Moreover, food safety is integral to the food and nutrition security of the local population. Capacity building of relevant stakeholders, including GAPs farmers is imperative for the promotion of GAPs at farmers’ field level. The current training manual comprises of two volumes, volume one presents general GAP guidelines for food safety, product quality, environmental management and workers safety, hygiene and welfare in line with Myanmar and ASEAN GAP key criteria and compliance standards, while volume two focuses on target crops specific Good Agriculture Practices (GAPs) at pre and post-harvest stages including processing, packing/packaging. Additional resources on GAPs standards, especially FAO GAP schemes for fruits and vegetables were also consulted with relevant practices included in the manual. -
BookletEmergency responseLa Niña: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, January 2025 update
Mitigating the expected impacts of La Niña‑induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO’s) La Niña Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, first launched in August 2024 and updated in January 2025, seeks urgent funding to address the escalating risks and potential impacts on agriculture and food security. Based on the latest forecasts and evolving conditions, FAO is prioritizing assistance to people in 41 countries currently at highest risk. Early flexible funding is fundamental to sync FAO operations with the fast-evolving forecasts and moving targets associated with La Niña.La Niña conditions are currently active, and are most likely to persist until April 2025. The change in weather patterns has already led to devastating floods and storms, as well as uneasonably dry conditions in various regions. Although La Niña conditions are expected to diminish after April, many countries will remain at risk of localized extreme weather events threatening already vulnerable farming communities.We know that acting ahead of climate extremes prevents losses and results in gains. Drawing on its expertise and leveraging flexible funding from its partners, FAO is actively implementing proactive measures in priority countries to mitigate these impacts. Continued donor support remains critical to enable communities to prepare effectively, reduce vulnerabilities and safeguard food security amidst the challenges posed by potential La Niña impacts and other climate extremes.
