Book (stand-alone)Technical bookLa evaluación de la inocuidad de los alimentos derivados de animales modificados genéticamente, incluidos los peces 2004Del 17 al 21 de noviembre de 2003 se celebró en la sede de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO), en Roma, una Consulta mixta FAO/OMS de expertos sobre la evaluación de la inocuidad de los alimentos derivados de animales modificados genéticamente, incluidos los peces. El objetivo de esta Consulta era suministrar asesoramiento a la FAO y la OMS y sus Estados Miembros sobre la evaluación de la inocuidad de los alimentos derivados de animales m odificados genéticamente, incluidos los peces (en lo sucesivo “animales MG”). La Consulta se concentró en el debate de las estrategias apropiadas y aplicables a la evaluación de dicha inocuidad. Además, abordó cuestiones concretas surgidas de la producción de animales MG, así como cuestiones ecológicas y éticas. La Consulta no se ocupó de todas las cuestiones ecológicas, sino que se concentró en la conexión entre la entrada de animales MG en el medio ambiente y la inocuidad de los alim entos. También examinó aspectos éticos directamente relacionados con la evaluación científica de los alimentos derivados de animales MG.

DocumentOther documentUtilización de los resultados de la evaluación de riesgos microbiológicos para elaborar estrategias prácticas de gestión de riesgos: Parámetros para mejorar la inocuidad de los alimentos
Informe
2006En 2004 la FAO y la OMS convinieron en que era necesario seguir trabajando en este ámbito, lo que fue refrendado por el Comité del Codex sobre Higiene de los Alimentos. La FAO y la OMS pusieron en marcha entonces un programa de actividades destinadas a este fin, con el objetivo final de suministrar directrices sobre la aplicación de la ERM para establecer objetivos cuantitativos específicos o normas en esta materia. Dichas actividades han incluido la formación de varios grupos de trabajo para co nsiderar estos asuntos y los resultados de la evaluación de riesgos microbiológicos a fin de elaborar medidas de control de los alimentos, haciendo hincapié en el establecimiento de objetivos o parámetros y su aplicación. Los resultados de estos grupos de trabajo y otros documentos pertinentes se analizaron y debatieron en una reunión de expertos convocada en Kiel, Alemania, del 3 al 7 de abril de 2006. El presente informe tiene como finalidad resumir los recientes debates internacionales y sus resultados y presentar una visión general de la situación actual en lo que respecta a la aplicación de la ERM en la gestión de la inocuidad de los alimentos. Aunque se han realizado progresos significativos en los últimos años, todavía subsisten muchos problemas -

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
