No results found.The African Union (AU) declared 2022 as the "Year of Nutrition" to address persistent food insecurity and malnutrition in Africa. Despite progress, challenges remain due to policy failures, conflict, climate issues, and global economic imbalances. In 2021, 322 million Africans faced severe food insecurity, with sub-Saharan Africa being the most affected. To tackle these issues, the AU and regional economic communities (RECs) prioritize food security and agriculture. Key frameworks like Agenda 2063 aim for a continent with stable, nutritious food sources. The AU and RECs have developed various instruments to support their Member States in these efforts.FAO commissioned CEFROHT to study the governance of the AU and RECs in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on food and agriculture policies, implementation challenges, and collaboration opportunities. CEFROHT analyzed the activities of key organizations, including EAC, IGAD, SADC, CEMAC, CEN–SAD, CILSS, ECOWAS, ECCAS, and COMESA. The report highlights their governance structures, normative frameworks, and potential areas for collaboration with FAO. -

Good practice series - Food safety

As an alternative to long globalized food chains, short food supply chains involve shorter physical distances and\or fewer actors between the producer and the consumer. In some contexts this model is now being promoted by the European Union, for the health and environmental advantages that it brings, couples with its potential benefits to small-scale producers and rural areas, especially in underdeveloped regions. Hygiene regulation is crucial for enabling small-scale producers and retailers to access markets via short food supply chains. To serve consumers and the needs of small-scale producers, the European Commission has introduced flexibility in its hygiene legislation through a Hygiene Package, which sets out exclusions, derogations and adaptations of the rules. For example, the direct supply or local retailing of primary products is exempt from European Union hygiene requirements. As part of this approach, in 2006 all Member States were asked to adapt requirements for certain traditional methods and regions.
