    La Commission du Codex Alimentarius met en oeuvre le Programme mixte FAO/OMS sur les normes alimentaires dans le but de protéger la santé des consommateurs et d'assurer des pratiques loyales dans le commerce alimentaire. Le Codex Alimentarius (en latin Loi ou Code alimentaire) est un recueil de normes alimentaires adoptées à l'échelon international présenté de manière uniforme. Il inclut également des dispositions à caractère consultatif sous forme de codes d'usages, de directives et de recommandations à l'appui des objectifs du Codex Alimentarius. La Commission a exprimé l'opinion que les codes d'usages peuvent fournir des listes récapitulatives des conditions à remplir utiles aux autorités nationales chargées du contrôle des denrées alimentaires ou de l'application de la législation alimentaire. La publicati on du Codex Alimentarius vise à guider et à promouvoir l'élaboration et l'établissement de définitions et d'exigences concernant les denrées alimentaires, à faciliter leur harmonisation et, ce faisant, à faciliter le commerce international.

    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.
