Book (series)Technical reportFood safety risk management: Evidence-informed policies and decisions, considering multiple factors
-
2017Also available in:
No results found.These FAO guidance materials were developed to support food safety risk managers and policy-makers in applying structured, evidence-informed processes to decisionmaking. Food safety issues can have widespread impacts beyond public health. They may contribute to, or detract from the achievement of goals in areas including nutrition, food security, food trade and market access, economic and rural development. The risk analysis paradigm guides risk managers to ensure their decisions are based on an assessment of risks to health, and consideration of other factors in choosing the preferred risk management decision. The materials assist decision-makers in applying a multi-factor approach and is applied to two key decision areas – setting food safety priorities, and selecting risk management options. The principles and approaches can be applied to all food safety decisions. Case studies are included as examples of how to apply this decision-making process. Using this guidance will lead to improved food safety decisions, where decision-makers can demonstrate how evidence was used and any trade-offs made. It also facilitates stakeholder engagement, transparency and accountability throughout the decision-making process. -
Book (stand-alone)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
Building climate resilience for food security and nutrition
2018New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting. Last year’s report showed that the failure to reduce world hunger is closely associated with the increase in conflict and violence in several parts of the world. In some countries, initial evidence showed climate-related events were also undermining food security and nutrition. This year’s report goes further to show that climate variability and extremes – even without conflict – are key drivers behind the recent rise in global hunger and one of the leading causes of severe food crises and their impact on people’s nutrition and health. Climate variability and exposure to more complex, frequent and intense climate extremes are threatening to erode and reverse gains in ending hunger and malnutrition. Furthermore, hunger is significantly worse in countries where agriculture systems are highly sensitive to rainfall, temperature and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture. The findings of this report reveal new challenges to ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition. There is an urgent need to accelerate and scale up actions that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity of people and their livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. These and other findings are detailed in the 2018 edition of The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World. -
Book (series)Flagshipحالة الأغذية والزراعة 2021
زيادة قدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية على الصمود أمام الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد
2021كشفت جائحة كوفيد-19 مدى هشاشة النظم الزراعية والغذائية أمام الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد وأفضت إلى ازدياد انعدام الأمن الغذائي وسوء التغذية في العالم. ولا بد من اتخاذ إجراءات لجعل النظم الزراعية والغذائية أكثر قدرة على الصمود وكفاءة واستدامة وشمولاً. يعرض تقرير حالة الأمن الغذائي والتغذية لعام 2021 مؤشرات على المستوى القطري لقدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية على الصمود. وتقيس هذه المؤشرات مدى متانة الإنتاج الأولي وتوافر الأغذية إضافة إلى الحصول المادي والاقتصادي على الأغذية. ومن شأن هذه المؤشرات بالتالي أن تساعد في تقييم قدرة النظم الزراعية والغذائية الوطنية على استيعاب الصدمات وحالات الإجهاد وهو جانب رئيسي من جوانب الصمود. ويجري التقرير تحليلاً لحالات الضعف في سلاسل القيمة الغذائية وكيفية تعاطي الأسر المعيشية الريفية مع المخاطر والصدمات. ويبحث في الخيارات المتاحة للحد قدر المستطاع من المقايضات التي قد تنجم عن بناء القدرة على الصمود مع الكفاءة والشمول. والغرض من ذلك هو إعطاء توجيهات بشأن السياسات من أجل تعزيز قدرة سلاسل الإمدادات الغذائية على الصمود ودعم سبل العيش في النظم الزراعية والغذائية وضمان الحصول المستدام على أغذية كافية وآمنة ومغذية للجميع، في ظلّ الاختلالات.
