Consulta Mixta FAO/OMS de Expertos sobre la Evaluación de Riesgos Asociados a los Peligros Microbiológicos en los Alimentos
2001La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) celebraron una Consulta Mixta FAO/OMS de Expertos sobre la Evaluación de Riesgos Asociados a los Peligros Microbiológicos en los Alimentos que tuvo lugar en la Sede de la FAO en Roma (Italia), del 30 de abril al 4 de mayo de 2001. La lista de participantes aparece en el Anexo 1. El Sr. Hartwig de Haen, Subdirector General del Departamento Económico y Social de la FAO inauguró la Consulta en nombre de las dos organizaciones patrocinadoras. Luego de dar la bienvenida a los participantes, el Sr. de Haen señaló que la evaluación de riesgos asociados a los peligros microbiológicos presenta características singulares debido a la naturaleza de dichos peligros. Actualmente, los peligros microbiológicos en los alimentos son uno de los problemas más importantes a nivel internacional, y por tanto deben valorarse científicamente a fin de proporcionar información adecuad a para la adopción de decisiones tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Resaltó que la FAO y la OMS están decididas a proporcionar un foro neutral internacional para abordar la evaluación de riesgos microbiológicos así como a brindar su apoyo a los países miembros en esta materia. -
Book (series)Technical studyEvaluaciones de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar – Resumen Interpretativo. Serie de Evaluación de Riesgos Microbiológicos (MRA) 1 2005La FAO y la OMS han realizado una evaluación de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar en respuesta a las solicitudes de asesoramiento experto sobre esta cuestión recibidas de sus países miembros y de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius. Se necesita orientación al respecto, ya que la salmonelosis es una de las principales enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos en muchos países, y los huevos y las aves de corral son importantes vehículos de transmisión. La evaluación de ries gos tenía varios objetivos: 1. Elaborar un documento básico que contuviera toda la información disponible pertinente para la evaluación de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar y también determinar qué carencias de datos hay que colmar con el fin de tratar esta cuestión de modo más completo. 2. Elaborar un ejemplo de marco y modelo de evaluación de riesgos que pueda aplicarse en todo el mundo. 3. Utilizar esta labor de evaluación de riesgos para examinar la eficacia de algu nas intervenciones de gestión de riesgos encaminadas a abordar los problemas asociados a la presencia de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
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.
