Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapThe FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025
Supporting innovation and resilience in food and agriculture sectors
2021Due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), drug-resistant infections are placing an ever-increasing burden on human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Drug-resistant infections have the potential to become leading causes of death. AMR may force tens of millions more people into extreme poverty, hunger, and malnutrition, and the associated economic losses are projected at several percent of gross domestic product. However, we can prevent this from happening – if we act quickly. This document outlines the FAO Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2021–2025 which serves as a roadmap for focusing global efforts to address AMR in the food and agriculture sectors. The aim of this plan is to help accelerate progress in developing and implementing multi-sectoral National Action Plans to tackle AMR by calling attention to strategic priorities and areas of expertise for FAO support. The action plan was developed by a multidisciplinary FAO team to ensure that all relevant dimensions – including terrestrial and aquatic animal health and production, crop production, food and feed safety, genetic resources, natural resource management, risk communication, and behavior change - are considered, with attention to regulatory frameworks, standards, norm-setting and bottom-up processes of collective action. By working together, food systems, livelihoods, and economies will be better protected from the destabilizing forces of untreatable illness. -

No results found.Canning is a long established form of food preservation. It provides nutritious safe food in a convenient form for the ultimate consumer and without the need for refrigeration during storage and transportation. Processing may take place in areas where the raw material food is available providing the possibility of employment for large numbers of people and the opportunity for trade with the major retail organizations across the world. In theory the canning process is simple. Food is prepared, pl aced inside a can, the can is sealed and heat sterilized and cooled before labelling storage and despatch. Technically however the principal objectives are the destruction by heat of microorganisms that could cause poisoning or spoilage and the prevention of post process infection during cooling. In addition the heat treatment provided also cooks the food making it convenient for subsequent use. Fish canning on rare occasions has been associated with fatal incidents of food poisoning and it is i mperative that all processes are carried out in accordance with recognized good manufacturing practices if the health of the consumer is to be protected. -
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.
