Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidelines for Input Trade Fairs and Voucher Schemes
Version 1
2013Also available in:
One of the main causes of food insecurity for farmers in rural areas is limited access to agricultural inputs. Therefore, one strategy to address the vulnerability of food-insecure farmers is to improve smallholder access to these inputs. To this end, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sets up input trade fairs and voucher schemes to provide poor, vulnerable and foodinsecure farmers with access to the inputs (e.g. seeds, fertilizers and hand tools) they nee d to sustain their agricultural livelihoods. -

Codex in action
2025Also available in:
No results found.In Ensuring safe food and fair trade: how Latin American and Caribbean countries are teaming up to close data gaps for Codex MRLs, we learn about a consortium set up by countries in Latin America, to resolve the issue of unsupported veterinary drug compounds. Many of the drugs used in the region are out of patent and made by "generic" companies that have no interest in gathering the data needed to develop relevant Codex standards (known as maximum residue limits, or MRLs). The consortium work being done in this region may well inspire others seeking solutions to similar problems. The Codex Alimentarius is the collection of standards, guidelines and codes of practice adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission to protect consumer health and facilitate fair practices in the food trade. These texts can only protect consumers and facilitate fair trade practices when they are implemented. In this and similar stories, we detail examples of how Codex Members make use of Codex texts and the value they place in Codex work.
