Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuidelines for humane handling, transport and slaughter of livestock 2001
Also available in:
A joint endeavour of FAO and a non-governmental organization, Humane Society International, this publication offers guidance to the livestock slaughter industry on ensuring humane treatment of animals. This is important not only to reduce unnecessary suffering but also vital for improving meat quality and cutting down production losses. The handbook includes sections on animal stress and pain and the negative effects these have on meat quality. It lists detailed recommendations, accompanied by c olour photographs and drawings, which set out proven methods for the humane and efficient handling, transport and slaughter of livestock. Highlighting prevalent faulty methods that are objectionable on both ethical and economic grounds, it recommends sizeable improvements in the equipment and facilities used in developing countries for livestock slaughter for meat. At the same time, determined efforts are needed to educate and train livestock slaughter industry personnel to avoid negligence and economic losses. -

Энэ нь ялангуяа хөгжиж буй орнуудад онцгой ач холбогдолтой, учир энэ нь үйлдвэрлэлийг сайжруулна. Мөн шашны зан үйлийн төхөөрөлтийн тухайд мал, амьтдыг муужруулах зохистой дадал болон муужруулалтын өмнөх ажиллагааны илүү сайн арга туршлагыг нэвтрүүлэх зайлшгүй шаардлагатай байна. Хөгжиж буй орнуудад өндөр технологийн тоног төхөөрөмж ашиглахгүйгээр тээвэрлэлт, төхөөрөх үед мал, амьтны тавлаг байдлын сайн стандартыг тогтоох боломжтой юм.

Book (series)Manual / guideGood practices for the meat industry 2004In recent years, public concern about the safety of foods of animal origin has heightened due to problems that have arisen with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as well as with outbreaks of food-borne bacterial infections, and food contamination with toxic agents (e.g. dioxin). These problems have serious implications for national food safety, the development of the animal products industry and for international trade in livestock products. The purpose of this manual on Good pract ices for the meat industry is to provide updated comprehensive information and practical guidelines for the implementation of the new Code of hygienic practice for meat, when adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The publication is intended to guide managers of abattoirs and the meat industry. It will also be of value to veterinarians engaged in meat inspection, with their supervisory roles in meat hygiene. The manual is published in detachable modules and also serves as a trai ning resource.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSistemas alimentarios seguros y sostenibles en una era de cambio climático acelerado 2018El mundo se enfrenta a problemas globales sin precedentes que afectan a la sostenibilidad de los sistemas agrícolas y alimentarios y a los medios de vida de pequeños productores y agricultores familiares en todo el planeta. Entre estos problemas figuran el agotamiento de recursos y las repercusiones adversas del deterioro ambiental, como la desertificación, la sequía, la degradación de las tierras, la escasez de agua, la contaminación y la pérdida de biodiversidad, así como el cambio climático y una población mundial en constante aumento. De manera conjunta, estos desafíos representan una seria amenaza para la seguridad alimentaria. El hambre y la subalimentación crónica están aumentando, y hay enfermedades prevenibles transmitidas por los alimentos que siguen afectando a millones de personas cada año. Además, según las previsiones disponibles, en 2050 la creciente población mundial puede necesitar el doble de los alimentos producidos en 2012. Este problema se ve agravado por la pérdida o el desperdicio de aproximadamente un tercio de los alimentos producidos en todo el mundo, lo cual es en su mayor parte atribuible a deficiencias en la gestión de la inocuidad y la calidad alimentarias a lo largo de las cadenas de valor. Todos los sectores agrícolas —agricultura, ganadería y acuicultura— se encuentran, por lo tanto, en una encrucijada. Simultáneamente con el aumento de la productividad agrícola, el impacto ambiental negativo no solo debe reducirse al mínimo, sino que debe revertirse. Esto representa un giro paradigmático en la agricultura hacia la intensificación sostenible que sea capaz de hacer frente a perturbaciones y cambios, como la variabilidad climática y las crisis emergentes y reemergentes relacionadas con la inocuidad alimentaria. Hacen falta respuestas, políticas, actividades de desarrollo de la capacidad, innovaciones e incentivos a escala nacional, internacional e intersectorial que aborden las inquietudes sobre la inocuidad alimentaria relacionadas con este vertiginoso ritmo de cambios naturales, tecnológicos, demográficos y sociales.
