Book (series)Technical reportReport of the seventh meeting of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group
Panama City, Panama, 19 March 2024
2025The seventh meeting of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group (GRWG) was held in Panama City on 19 March 2024.The meeting was attended by experts from FAO Member States, intergovernmental organizations and international non-governmental organizations. Issues discussed included: state of affairs of the Global Record, key considerations for the Global Record moving forward and assistance to developing states.The GRWG called for states to continue uploading, maintaining and updating vessels given its critical role for the PSMA Global Information Exchange System (GIES) which requires reliable information on the identity of vessels. The GRWG considered as a minimum, the introduction of three broad categories of vessels of the Global Record (fishing vessels, refrigerated transport vessels and supply vessels) for those cases where vessel type is not communicated using the ISSCFV (International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishery Vessels by Vessel Types) classification. The GRWG called for studies on the feasibility and implications of obtaining and sharing ultimate beneficiary ownership information recognizing this information as crucial in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing). The GRWG approved the reintroduction of a deep hyperlink to the International Maritime Organization’s Global Integrated Shipping Information System for accessing additional relevant information contained in that system. -

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineInternational Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Guidance for aerial application of pesticides
2024Also available in:
No results found.The International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management provides countries with a framework for supervision over pesticides within their territories. The Guidance for aerial application of pesticides provides concise technical guidelines to elaborate specific articles of the Code of Conduct. Targeted at regulatory authorities, operators, and applicators involved in aerial pesticide application, this guidance serves as a reference for making informed decisions and ensuring compliance with national regulations and codes of practice.Aerial application of pesticides plays a crucial role, especially in agriculture and public health vector control. This guidance addresses the diverse stakeholders involved in aerial spray operations, underscoring the importance of adherence to established protocols to mitigate adverse impacts on human health and the environment. Outlined are the crucial elements for effective and safe aerial application, emphasizing the importance of well-organized operations, trained personnel, minimizing exposure to bystanders, and preventing environmental contamination. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
