2014Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s Global and Regional Food Consumer Price Indices (CPI) measure food inflation for a group of countries at different geographical scales: sub-regional (e.g. South America), regional (e.g. Americas) and global (world, all countries). The Global Food CPI covers approximately 150 countries worldwide, representing more than 90% of the world population. Unless otherwise stated, monthly inflation rates represent annual, year-over-year inflation pertaining to that specific month. -

Book (series)Technical reportPesticide residues in food 2016 - Report 2016 - Special session of the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues
Report of the special session of the Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues Geneva, Switzerland, 9–13 May 2016
2016Also available in:
No results found.A Joint Meeting of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Residues in Food and the Environment and the WHO Core Assessment Group on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 9 to 13 May 2016. The three pesticides evaluated at the meeting were placed on the agenda by the JMPR Secretariat following the recommendation of an electronic task force of the WHO Core Assessment Group that they be re-evaluated due to public health concerns identified by the International Agency for Re search on Cancer (IARC) and the availability of a significant number of new studies. During the meeting, the WHO Core Assessment Group was responsible for reviewing epidemiological, toxicological and related data in order to establish acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and acute reference doses (ARfDs) of the pesticides for humans, where necessary. As no residue data were requested, the FAO Expert was responsible for estimating the dietary exposures (both short-term and long-term) to the pesticide s reveiewed and, on this basis, performed dietary risk assessments in relation to their ADIs or ARfDs. This report contains information on ADIs, ARfDs and general principles for the evaluation of pesticides. The recommendations of the Joint Meeting, including further research and information, are proposed for use by Member governments of the respective agencies and other interested parties. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
