Food safety
2020Also available in:
No results found.Food provides essential nutrients for human health, well-being and development. However, when unfit for human consumption, food can also be a source of harm as food-borne illness and reduced absorption of nutrients. In the worst-case scenario, food that is not safe can cause death. Food-borne diseases continue to pose a high burden on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly on children under five years of age. Enhanced food safety and hygiene is integral to the successful attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular to SDG2. This guidance note identifies a number of issues to be taken into account for improving the coherence between food security and food safety policies, indicating how food safety considerations could be integrated into the food security agenda, weighing and optimizing trade-offs, building on synergies and ensuring that different sectors’ objectives are met in a complementary way. -
Book (stand-alone)Strengthening sector policies for better food security and nutrition results: Fisheries and aquaculture 2017One hundred million people worldwide earn an income from fisheries and aquaculture and many more rely on fish for a nutritious diet. The policy agenda of the sector tends to be oriented towards commercial interests. Often, food security, nutrition and livelihoods concerns are not well factored into fisheries-related policy measures due to the overall lack of knowledge about their linkages, as well as poor coordination across the respective policy domains. This fisheries and aquaculture guidance note highlights the importance of fisheries in local and global food systems and demonstrates how related policy measures can contribute to nutrition and health, particularly for the poor. It also discusses a range of issues to be taken into account when attempting to harmonize fisheries policies with food security and nutrition concerns.
