A methodology for identifying origin‐linked products and their development potential and for carrying out inventories
2012The stakeholders and decision‐makers concerning agricultural and rural development in a given area, region or country often wonder about the existence of an agricultural and food heritage and the possibilities of developing a strategy based on the enhancement of typical products and their local resources. This means that they need tools to identify such products, carry out an inventory and evaluate their potential, in terms not only of creating economic value but also of preserving and optimizin g the cultural and environmental heritage, in order to select pilot products, thus supporting a territorial dynamic. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
MeetingMeeting documentInforme de la reunión preparatoria del Foro Mundial de Autoridades de Reglamentación sobre Inocuidad de los Alimentos 2001En la reunión se logró el consenso sobre el enfoque y la finalidad de tales foros. Éstos se definieron como un intercambio de información y experiencia adquiridas por los países sobre los modos de tratar las cuestiones relacionadas con la inocuidad de los alimentos, los métodos de gestión y comunicación de riesgos, y los sistemas de información y alerta temprana. Los programas de dichos foros tenían que diferenciarse netamente de las actividades del Codex Alimentarius y debían complementar o apo yar, pero no duplicar, los de otras reuniones. Se acordó además que en los foros mundiales sobre inocuidad de los alimentos no se adoptarían decisiones sino que se intercambiaría información, se evaluarían opciones alternativas, se compartirían las experiencias nacionales, se extraerían enseñanzas de estas experiencias, y se buscaría una comprensión mutua sobre cuestiones y estrategias de intervención relativas a los problemas de inocuidad de los alimentos de interés común. Al centrarse en los e nfoques nacionales para tratar las cuestiones de inocuidad de los alimentos, en los foros se procuraría determinar una perspectiva de alcance mundial que permitiera hacer frente a ciertos riesgos, incluidas las políticas y medidas de gestión y prevención de crisis.
