Book (series)Technical studyEvaluaciones de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar – Resumen Interpretativo. Serie de Evaluación de Riesgos Microbiológicos (MRA) 1 2005La FAO y la OMS han realizado una evaluación de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar en respuesta a las solicitudes de asesoramiento experto sobre esta cuestión recibidas de sus países miembros y de la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius. Se necesita orientación al respecto, ya que la salmonelosis es una de las principales enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos en muchos países, y los huevos y las aves de corral son importantes vehículos de transmisión. La evaluación de ries gos tenía varios objetivos: 1. Elaborar un documento básico que contuviera toda la información disponible pertinente para la evaluación de riesgos de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar y también determinar qué carencias de datos hay que colmar con el fin de tratar esta cuestión de modo más completo. 2. Elaborar un ejemplo de marco y modelo de evaluación de riesgos que pueda aplicarse en todo el mundo. 3. Utilizar esta labor de evaluación de riesgos para examinar la eficacia de algu nas intervenciones de gestión de riesgos encaminadas a abordar los problemas asociados a la presencia de Salmonella en huevos y pollos para asar.

Book (series)GuidelineCaracterización de peligros de patógenos en los alimentos y el agua. Directrices. Serie de Evaluación de Riesgos Microbiológicos (MRA) 3 2004La evaluación de riesgos microbiológicos (ERM) es un nuevo instrumento para el análisis de la inocuidad de los suministros de alimentos y de agua. La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) desempeñan una función central en la elaboración y normalización de la ERM a nivel internacional, a fin de informar acerca de la gestión de riesgos en los alimentos tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. La elaborac ión de directrices, como éstas sobre la Caracterización de peligros de patógenos en los alimentos y el agua, son importantes en la realización de estas tareas. Las directrices están orientadas sobre todo a una audiencia multidisciplinar, que interviene directamente en la elaboración y el examen de documentos relativos a la ERM a nivel internacional o nacional. También serán útiles para los gestores de riesgos que basan sus decisiones en los resultados de la evaluación de riesgos y deben conoce r los principios y postulados subyacentes que respaldan estas evaluaciones.

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
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.
