Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureTool 1 - Background and guidance
Information toolkit on food biotechnologies with a focus on food safety
2021Also available in:
No results found.Tool 1 provides general information regarding the background and guidance on food biotechnologies, the safety assessment of foods derived from biotechnologies, and international documents and tools. It contains example materials on what is meant by food biotechnologies. The principles and guidelines developed through the Codex Alimentarius (FAO and WHO, 2020) are introduced as well as the FAO GM Foods Platform , an international database where Codex Members can share data and information on the safety assessment of genetically modified (GM) foods. A list of publications is available in the References section that could be used to develop further understanding of the internationally recognized frameworks related to the safety assessment of foods derived from biotechnologies.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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.
