Book (stand-alone)Technical studyExploring the future landscape of new food sources and production systems
A foresight exercise
2025Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems are undergoing significant changes, driven by technological advances, scientific discoveries, and the need to become more sustainable and resilient. In response, new food sources and production systems (NFPS) are emerging worldwide, with the potential to alter the global food landscape over the next 5 to 25 years.The FAO Food Safety Foresight Programme conducted a multi-phase foresight exercise to explore potential food safety implications of emerging new food sources and production systems. Through expert consultations and a structured methodology combining a two-part Delphi survey and mind mapping, the exercise identified 44 emerging innovations across nine clusters expected to develop between now and 2050.The exercise revealed both opportunities and challenges associated with the innovations, highlighting the need for proactive preparation by food safety authorities and other stakeholders to ensure the safe development and implementation of these innovations while protecting public health. Several steps were identified as necessary to achieving this: improving communication on the safety implications of NFPS, fostering technical advancement for safety assurance, developing tailored safety assessments, encouraging collaboration between regulators and industry, and harmonizing regulatory requirements while maintaining safety standards.The findings also highlighted various social, technological, economic, environmental and political issues that must be addressed for the safe integration of these innovations into food systems. Continuous monitoring and assessment of emerging NFPS issues is crucial to better understand the long-term implications for food safety and public health. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
