Book (stand-alone)Technical reportToxicological evaluation of certain veterinary drug residues in food: prepared by the ninety-eighth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA)
WHO Food Additives Series, No. 89
2025Also available in:
No results found.The monographs contained in this volume were prepared at the ninety-eighth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy, on 20–29 February 2024. The toxicological monographs in this volume summarize data on the veterinary drug residues that were evaluated toxicologically by the Committee: clopidol, fumagillin dicyclohexylmine, and imidacloprid. Annexed to the report is a summary of the Committee’s recommendations on these drugs, including acceptable daily intakes (ADIs), acute reference doses (ARfDs) and proposed maximum residue limits (MRLs). This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives Series contain information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives and veterinary drugs and those involved with controlling contaminants in food, government and food regulatory officers, industrial testing laboratories, toxicological laboratories and universities. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical reportResidue Evaluation of Certain Veterinary Drugs. Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). 75th Meeting. FAO JECFA Monographs 12 2012
Also available in:
No results found.The monographs in this volume of the FAO JECFA Monographs on the residues of, statements on, or other parameters of the veterinary drugs on the agenda were prepared by the invited experts for the Seventy-fifth Meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), held in Rome, Italy, 7–17-November 2011. This was the nineteenth meeting of JECFA convened specifically to consider residues of veterinary drugs in food-producing animal species. The Committee had evaluated residues o f veterinary drugs at its 12th, 26th, 27th, 32nd, 34th, 36th, 38th, 40th,42nd, 43rd, 45th, 47th, 48th, 50th, 52nd, 54th, 58th, 60th, 62nd, 66th and 70th meetings (JECFA, various dates 1969–2010). The tasks for the Committee were to further elaborate principles for evaluating the safety of residues of veterinary drugs in food and for establishing acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) and recommend maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances on the agenda when they are administered to food-producing an imals in accordance with good veterinary practice in the use of veterinary drugs. The enclosed monographs provided the scientific basis for the recommendations of MRLs. There is an important feature to bring to the attention of readers. This volume of the FAO JECFA Monographs is the third in a new format for the presentation of monographs from meetings of the Committee specifically devoted to residues of specific veterinary drugs in food. It was also the seventh meeting of JECFA subsequent to th e completion of the workshop to update the principles and methods of risk assessment for MRLs for pesticides and veterinary drugs, held jointly by FAO/RIVM/WHO, in Bilthoven, The Netherlands, 7– 11 November 2005. The outcomes of this workshop are incorporated in the Environmental Health Criteria, No. 240, publication Principles and methods for the risk assessment of chemicals in food, WHO, 2009. Specifically, the Committee continued to implement some of the more significant recommendations in th e workshop report, including the concept of using median residue values to estimate daily intakes of residues of veterinary drugs in food for chronic exposure intake estimates. -

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021. -
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.
