MeetingMeeting documentStatistiques sur les maladies d'origine alimentaire en Europe - Risques microbiologiques et chimiques 2002Les maladies dues à une contamination microbiologique des aliments sont un problème de santé publique important qui ne cesse de prendre de l’ampleur. La plupart des pays qui disposent d’un système de notification des cas de maladie d’origine alimentaire ont apporté la preuve que, depuis plusieurs décennies, il y a eu accroissement de l’incidence des maladies dues à des micro-organismes présents dans les aliments, notamment Salmonella spp., Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes ou E. coli O157, entre autres. Les substances chimiques sont elles aussi à l’origine de nombreux cas de maladie d’origine alimentaire, encore que leurs effets soient souvent difficiles à relier à un aliment particulier. Les contaminants chimiques dans les aliments comprennent des substances toxiques naturelles comme les mycotoxines ou bien des contaminants d’origine environnementale comme les dioxines, le mercure, le plomb ou les radionucléides. Les additifs alimentaires, les pesticides et les médicam ents vétérinaires sont eux aussi largement utilisés, et il est indispensable de s’assurer qu’ils le sont sans danger. La surveillance des maladies d’origine alimentaire et de la contamination des aliments est un outil essentiel pour l’évaluation des risques. C’est pourquoi les efforts portent essentiellement sur la mise au point de méthodes appropriées dans ces deux domaines pour fournir les données nécessaires à l’évaluation quantitative des risques microbiologiques et chimiques. On t rouvera ici à la fois des données sur les maladies d’origine alimentaire dans la Région européenne et des informations sur les contaminants chimiques, les additifs et les résidus présents dans les aliments qui pourraient nuire à la santé. Les orientations d’avenir pour éviter les risques tant microbiologiques que chimiques sont ensuite examinées.

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. -
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.
