    This report presents the findings of Missions fielded in mid-September 1997 by the FAO Global Information and Early Warning System (GIEWS) to the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to assess the 1997 harvest outlook for foodcrops and the 1997/98 cereal import requirements. This year’s Mission was joined by an observer from the Economic Research Service of the U.S.Department of Agriculture, who provided important technical input on various aspects of the assessment, in particular for the li vestock industry and the Russian Federation. Missions visited Moldova, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The findings of an FAO Mission in June/July to Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia were updated with the assistance of in-country WFP staff in August and September. As regards Tajikistan, FAO in-country staff continuously monitor developments in this country’s agriculture and food supply situation. Information for t he States not visited was obtained from the CIS Statistical Committee and directly from these countries’ statistical offices and crop monitoring specialists. Throughout its work, the Mission received invaluable assistance from grain traders, the statistical offices, specialized institutes for agriculture, ministries of agriculture, grain marketing organizations as well as from the staff of the EC TACIS projects, the World Bank and the United Nations Offices in the countries visited.

    Food Handler's Manual: student 2017
    Also available in:
    Food-borne diseases (FBDs) are one of the most frequent public health problems in daily life. The hazards that cause FBD may occur in the different stages of the food chain (from primary production to the table). Independently from its origin, once the food reaches the consumer it may have an impact on public health and cause severe economic damage to the establishments devoted to its preparation and sale. These two events may cause loss of confidence and the closing down of a business. Fortunately, the measures for preventing food contamination are very simple and may be applied by anyone who handles food, by following easy rules for hygienic food handling. The purpose of this Manual is to provide to people who handle food the information they need to facilitate and apply good food handling practices. In addition, it seeks to provide basic information about food safety that Latin American and Caribbean countries may adapt to their own needs. The Manual is organized into three Modules and Appendices focusing on the following topics: (1) food hazards; (2) FBDs; and (3) hygienic measures to prevent food contamination. The evaluation at the end, is part of the Manual. Its purpose is to assess the knowledge acquired during the course regarding the importance of hygienic food handling for public health.

    Global Forest Resources Assessment - FRA 2020 - Terms and Definitions
    Working Paper No. 188
    2018
    Also available in:
    FAO has been coordinating global forest resources assessments every five to ten years since 1946. The assessments have to a great extent contributed to the improvement of concepts, definitions and methods related to forest resources assessments. Strong efforts have been made to harmonize and streamline reporting with other international forest-related processes e.g. within the framework of the Collaborative Partnership on Forest (CPF), as well as with the partner organizations of the Collaborative Forest Resources Questionnaire (CFRQ) and the scientific community, all in order to harmonize and improve forest related definitions and reduce reporting burden on countries. The core definitions build on earlier global assessments to ensure comparability over time. Whenever new definitions are introduced or old definitions modified this is done taking into consideration recommendations from experts in various fora.
