MeetingMeeting documentFood safety activities in Vietnam
Conference Room Document proposed by Vietnam
2002Also available in:
No results found.The Vietnam Food Administration is responsible for managing food hygiene, safety, and quality and has made significant progression since its establishment in 1999. Food safety remains a high priority in Vietnam with growth of export markets and increasing food imports, there is a need to rapidly build the capacity of the food Administration to reduce the threats of foodborne disease. The Food Administration has demonstrated commitment to the food safety challenges it faces, and has embarked on an innovative capacity building activity with technical assistance from the World Health Organization. -
DocumentWorking paperPreference Variability along the Policy Chain in Vietnam 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This paper explores whether there are systematic differences in decision making between those who regularly allocate public resources, and those who are more frequently the intended recipients. To test for differences we sample across farmers and policy makers in Vietnam who vary by the responsibility they have over making public policy decisions. Our findings suggest that preference parameters such as fairness, risk, discounting and control systematically differ between these individuals, and are predictors of the likelihood that an individual is in a position of allocating public resources or receiving them. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyArea-wide integration (AWI) of specialized crop and livestock activities in Vietnam
Project Report
2004Also available in:
No results found.The urbanization and increase of animal-product demands have accompanied with the specification and intensification in animal production, also with the disintegration between crop and animals. This trend has resulted in environment pollution in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and the surrounding provinces including Binh Duong, Dong Nai (North and North East of the city, respectively) and Long An of Mekong Delta. Biogas has been popular to small scale farms of 5-100 pigs. Every city/province has had prog ram to support the poor farmers, on a limited scale, in installation of biogas. However, the biogas is not suitable for farms raising less than 5 pigs or farms having no land for crop. In addition, most of intensive farms, especially the swine farms, were built in the decade of 60 without treatment system of waste. The waste is therefore drained to vegetable field or stream, that has had BOD of 300-530 mg/l and an unaccepted number of E. coli as well as parasite egg. The environmental and techni cal problems of intensive swine farms have been solved by provincial master plane of relocation.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookMinimum dietary diversity for women
An updated guide to measurement - from collection to action
2021Also available in:
Women of reproductive age (WRA) are often nutritionally vulnerable because of the physiological demands of pregnancy and lactation. Requirements for most nutrients are higher for pregnant and lactating women than for adult men. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for WRA (MDD-W) indicator is a food-based diversity indicator that has been shown to reflect one key dimension of diet quality: micronutrient adequacy summarized across 11 micronutrients (Martin-Prével et al., 2015).Since the launch of the MDD-W indicator in 2015, new global developments and research conducted in three countries to further determine best practices in the data collection resulted in new information and guidelines. This research was supported by capacity-development activities on the assessment of individual food consumption. This publication is an update to the 2016 FAO/FHI 360 joint publication MDD-W: A Guide to Measurement. It includes guidance on the most accurate and valid methodologies on collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data on women’s dietary diversity, for use in research, impact assessment and large-scale, health and nutrition surveys such as the Demographic Health Survey (DHS), to generate nationally representative data, that are comparable over time and across countries.In addition to supporting the regular collection of high-quality dietary data following standardized methodologies, the publication also aims to promote dialogues on and appropriate application of the data towards informing policy and programming decisions and monitoring and evaluation of nutrition outcomes and progress at global, regional, and country levels. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportTrials of Improved Practices (TIPs). Reference Notes and Tools
A manual for TIPs trainers and implementers
2011Also available in:
No results found.Purpose of these Reference Notes and Tools The Reference Notes and Tools for TIPs trainers and implementers come in 2 parts. PART I consists of Reference Notes which provide technical information on basic nutrition and how to facilitate improved feeding practices in communities using a simplifi ed version of the methodology known as Trials of Improved Practices (TIPs), before wider dissemination and promotion of improved child and family feeding recommendations. PART II consists of TIPs Tools. There are 8 TIPs tools for use by different key players during TIPs implementation. They included tools for: ƒn „P Use during home visits (to be conducted by district TIPs implementers) ƒn „P Summarizing and analysing outcomes of the home visits ƒn „P Compiling information and experiences gained during the trials. The TIPs Tools also include guidance on when and how to each tool should be used.
