ProjectGuidelineReducing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Plant Production through Risk Assessment Guidelines - GCP/GLO/519/CAN 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The need to effectively control antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in plant production has become increasingly urgent, with foodborne AMR posing risks to food safety, trade, and public health. Despite existing guidelines from the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), Codex Members have faced challenges in applying them practically. In response, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated this project to provide Members with practical tools to implement the Codex Guidelines for Risk Analysis of Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance (CXGL 77-2011). The project developed accessible resources in English, French, and Spanish on assessing and preventing AMR risk for fruit and vegetable value chains. These resources and guidelines were piloted through workshops and risk assessment activities in South Africa and Viet Nam, respectively. Policymakers participating in the workshop demonstrated increased knowledge and commitment. In Viet Nam, training on surveillance and data collection provided information on AMR contamination data across plant production value chains, contributing to the development of food safety risk models. Through these efforts, the project aimed to promote the implementation of science-based international guidelines and contribute to harmonizing risk assessment approaches. -
ProjectFactsheetReducing plant pests and diseases in Botswana - TCP/BOT/3502 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector in Botswana supplies food and raw materials and is important for maintaining food security at household and national levels. Yet it only contributes 2–3 percent of the country's gross domestic product, and it has the potential to contribute more. Drought, pests and diseases limit crop production in Botswana. This project was implemented to carry out on inventory of crop pests and diseases and to improve the import regulation system and the export certification system, so as to promote trade and agricultural production and ultimately increase food security. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideRecarbonizing global soils – A technical manual of recommended management practices
Volume 5 - Forestry, wetlands, urban soils – Practices overview
2021Also available in:
No results found.During the last decades, soil organic carbon (SOC) attracted the attention of a much wider array of specialists beyond agriculture and soil science, as it was proven to be one of the most crucial components of the earth’s climate system, which has a great potential to be managed by humans. Soils as a carbon pool are one of the key factors in several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Goal 15, “Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss” with the SOC stock being explicitly cited in Indicator 15.3.1. This technical manual is the first attempt to gather, in a standardized format, the existing data on the impacts of the main soil management practices on SOC content in a wide array of environments, including the advantages, drawbacks and constraints. This manual presents different sustainable soil management (SSM) practices at different scales and in different contexts, supported by case studies that have been shown with quantitative data to have a positive effect on SOC stocks and successful experiences of SOC sequestration in practical field applications. Volume 5 includes 24 practices that have a direct impact on SOC sequestration and maintenance in forestry, wetlands and urban soils. -
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.
