BookletGuidelineCódigo Internacional de Conducta para la Gestión de Plaguicidas. Directrices sobre los Plaguicidas Altamente Peligrosos 2019El hecho de que algunos plaguicidas son más peligrosos que otros está bien comprobado. El reconocimiento de esto se refleja en la Clasificación Recomendada de Plaguicidas según su Peligrosidad de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), que fue publicado por primera vez en 1975. El documento clasifica los plaguicidas en una de cinco clases de peligro en función de su toxicidad aguda. En 2002, se introdujo el Sistema Globalmente Armonizado de Clasificación y Etiquetado de Productos Químicos (SGA), que además de la toxicidad aguda también proporciona clasificación de productos químicos en función de sus peligros crónicos para la salud y los peligros ambientales.

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. -
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.

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineInternational Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management – Guidance on Good Labelling Practices for Pesticides
Second revision
2022Also available in:
This second revision of the Guidance on Good Labelling Practice for Pesticides targets pesticide regulatory authorities, primarily in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, which have to define or revise national pesticide labelling requirements. The guidance aims also to assist pesticide registration authorities in reviewing the design and contents of (draft) pesticide labels. Other stakeholders, such as pesticide industry and civil society groups, may also find the guidance useful for writing or evaluating pesticide labels. The revised guidance further stresses the importance to adopt the Globally Harmonised System of classification of pesticides by hazard (GHS) and to use it for pesticide labelling. It provides a revised section on colour bands (4.7) so that labels of pesticide products reflect both acute health and severe chronic toxicity.
