Book (stand-alone)Technical reportAccelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests (AIM4Forests)
Mid-term review report
2025Also available in:
No results found.The mid-term review (MTR) report of the Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests (AIM4Forests) programme was conducted at the request of the AIM4Forests steering committee and in line with the United Kingdom AIM4Forests business case. The main purpose was to provide an independent assessment of the programme’s progress and likelihood of achieving the set goals and make recommendations to enhance programme performance and address strategic issues concerning the programme scope. The MTR focused on the programme from its start in mid-2023 until December 2024 covering programme activities and results at all levels. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland have launched AIM4Forests, a five-year programme to support forest monitoring based on modern monitoring technologies and technical innovation, as well as the use of space data and remote sensing. The programme is all about leveraging technical innovation to create data and information to inform the right courses of action to reduce deforestation and restore forests. AIM4Forests will leverage everything that technology and innovation offers such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In addition, it will also make sure that the capacity is transferred to countries, including Indigenous Peoples, and local communities who manage the forests – only that way can we see real change. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookArtificial intelligence for food safety
A literature synthesis, real-world applications and regulatory frameworks
2025Also available in:
No results found.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in food safety management, offering new capabilities in data analysis, predictive modelling, and risk-based decision-making. A review of the literature identifies three primary areas of application: scientific advice, inspection and border control, and operational activities of food safety competent authorities. Five country examples with the real-world use cases illustrate diverse uses of AI tools, including pathogen detection, import sampling prioritization, and language models for regulatory data processing. Regulatory frameworks, as well as voluntary governance, addressing AI in the public sector are emerging worldwide. National and international initiatives often highlight the importance of data governance, transparency, ethical considerations, and human oversight. Challenges such as biased data, explainability, and data governance gaps appear across different contexts, along with potential risks from deploying AI systems prematurely. Access to high-quality, interoperable data and collaboration among stakeholders can support effective integration of AI technologies. AI readiness often depends on understanding specific problems to be addressed, current capacities, and the quality of available data. Human oversight and continuous evaluation contribute to maintaining trust in AI systems. Collaborative efforts involving academia, the private sector, and international organizations help build shared knowledge and resources for AI development in food safety. Overall, AI presents opportunities to enhance resilience, efficiency, and responsiveness in food safety systems. Careful consideration of governance, data management, and multi-stakeholder cooperation can shape AI’s contribution to achieving sustainable and equitable outcomes in agrifood systems. -

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineVoluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security 2012The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.
