Le secteur privé prévoit l'après-covid-19 – Des pratiques sûres de manipulation des aliments, plus importantes que jamais
2021Au cours d’une année marquée par une interruption inédite liée à la pandémie de covid-19, la présente publication rassemble les mesures prises par le Codex Alimentarius de juillet 2019 (quarante-deuxième session de la Commission) à septembre 2020 (quarante-troisième session de la Commission) sur la voie d’une alimentation saine et de qualité pour tous. Pendant cette période, plusieurs comités du Codex ont pu se réunir selon le calendrier établi pour discuter des mises à jour des normes alimentaires, des directives et des codes d’usages internationaux. Parmi les réunions qui sont parvenues à mener à bien leurs travaux figurent les six comités FAO/OMS de coordination couvrant toutes les régions du globe. Depuis l’arrêt brutal des réunions en mars 2020, le Codex a innové en organisant la toute première réunion virtuelle du Comité exécutif et la première Commission virtuelle. L’organe de gouvernance du «code alimentaire», la Commission du Codex Alimentarius, se prononcera sur les propositions émanant des comités lors d’un ensemble de sessions virtuelles qui se dérouleront sur près de quatre semaines. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
