MeetingMeeting documentApproches intégrées de la gestion de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments tout au long de la chaîne alimentaire 2002La plupart des pays qui disposent de systèmes permettant d'enregistrer les maladies d'origine alimentaire ont signalé une augmentation considérable ces dix dernières années de l'incidence des maladies dues à des micro-organismes pathogènes dans les aliments. Dans les pays industrialisés, jusqu'à une personne sur trois peut être touchée par une maladie d'origine alimentaire chaque année et dans la plupart des autres pays, la situation est probablement pire. Outre qu'elles provoquent la mort et de s souffrances, les maladies d'origine alimentaire ont des conséquences économiques très importantes, qui se chiffrent dans certains pays en milliards de dollars. En Europe, l'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine (ESB, la "maladie de la vache folle") et la contamination des aliments par des dioxines ont rendu les consommateurs méfiants quant à la salubrité des aliments sur le marché, ce qui a eu de graves répercussions économiques. Souvent, les origines des problèmes de salubrité des aliments remon tent à la contamination des produits pour animaux ou à d'autres facteurs qui interviennent à un stade précoce de la chaîne alimentaire; jusqu'à récemment, les responsables de la sécurité sanitaire des aliments ne s'étaient guère intéressés à ce domaine.

ProjectFactsheetRenforcement du système de prévention et de gestion des urgences de sécurité sanitaire des aliments au Sénégal et au Burkina Faso - GCP/SEN/072/LUX 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Au Sénégal, mais également dans les sept autres pays de l’Union économique et monétaire ouest africaine (UEMOA), les systèmes de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (SSA) font face à de nombreux défis et les maladies d’origine alimentaire qui sévissent de façon récurrente pèsent lourdement sur des systèmes de santé déjà fragiles. Leur coût très élevé a un impact négatif sur la productivité et la croissance économiques et limite la capacité des gouvernements à investir dans la santé, l’éducation, la sécurité alimentaire et les programmes de développement. Le projet venait consolider les actions précédemment menées par le projet GCP/SEN/067/LUX dans le domaine de la collecte de données, de la surveillance, de l’identification et de la gestion des urgences en matière de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (SSA), qui avait eu comme résultat phare l’élaboration du Plan national de réponse aux urgences en matière de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (PNRUSSA) du Sénégal. Il s’agissait de consolider la place de «champion» du Sénégal dans ce domaine et de développer la collaboration tripartite triangulaire par le partage d’expérience entre le Sénégal et le Burkina Faso. -

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.
