Book (stand-alone)Policy analysisCollection of legal briefs for eradicating hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean
A tool for parliamentarians
2025Also available in:
This Collection of legal briefs for eradicating hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean highlights the important role of legislation in eradicating hunger and ensuring food security. Its pages compile decades of valuable legal knowledge through ten individually published notes by FAO, bringing together ten key topics related to the right to food and the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 2, with the aim of serving as an essential tool for legislators and policymakers. These topics encompass constitutional provisions on food security, legal frameworks, and legislative measures aimed at combating rural poverty and improving nutrition. Each report offers practical strategies for legislative action, ranging from responsible land management to the training of rural women and the promotion of family farming.Furthermore, the importance of international cooperation in promoting sustainable food policies is examined, emphasizing the need to engage different actors, such as non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and local communities, in the implementation of effective solutions. Additional aspects covered include the governance of natural resources, climate change adaptation, and the resilience of food systems in the face of crises. Finally, the collection presents a comprehensive vision of the legal framework that supports food security and sustainable development in the region, highlighting the importance of inclusive, equitable, and sustainable policies to guarantee the right to adequate food. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookOverview of rural poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean
Solutions for eliminating rural poverty in the 21st century
2019Also available in:
Panorama of Rural Poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), addresses the important challenges faced by the region in developing its rural territories to achieve the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, particularly SDG 1 to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. After many years of progress, poverty and extreme rural poverty in the region have started to increase again. This is worrying news for countries of the region and the international community because, if they do not return to the path of rural poverty reduction, millions of people will be excluded from the opportunity to contribute to the development of their families, communities and countries. The 33 Member States of the United Nations in the region have pledged their commitment to eradicating rural poverty by 2030 and, despite the recent trend, it is still possible to achieve this goal. This report also highlights the persistence of significant gaps between rural and urban areas, which is incompatible with sustainable and equitable development. Of the 169 targets of the Sustainable Development Goals, 132 require actions that must be carried out in rural territories.

Book (series)Technical reportPesticide residues in food 2015 Joint FAO/WHO Meeting 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Report of the Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues. The Meeting evaluated 29 pesticides, including 8 new compounds and 4 compounds that were re-evaluated within the periodic review programme of the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR), for toxicity or residues, or both. The Meeting allocated ADIs and ARfDs, estimated more than 300 maximum residue levels and recommended them for use by CCPR, and estimated STMR and highest residue (HR) levels as a basis for estimating dietary intake. The Meeting also estimated the dietary intakes (both short-term and long-term) of the pesticides reviewed and, on this basis, performed dietary risk assessments in relation to their ADIs or ARfDs. Cases in which ADIs or ARfDs may be exceeded were clearly indicated in order to facilitate the decision-making process of CCPR. The rationale for methodologies for long- and short-term dietary ris k assessment are described in detail in the FAO manual on the submission and evaluation of pesticide residue data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed. -
