It also includes methods to address external factors that may disrupt food control systems (e.g. caused by pandemics, conflict or other catastrophic events). Contemporary and novel applications of nuclear and complementary techniques will be presented, and future perspectives and opportunities discussed.

    In December 2016, FAO and WHO convened an International Symposium on Sustainable Food Systems for Healthy Diets and Improved Nutrition, gathering delegates from 90 UN Member States representatives of intergovernmental organizations, private-sector entities, civil society organizations, academia/research organizations and producer organizations/cooperatives. The symposium aimed to increase awareness of today’s urgent food and nutrition challenges, and to create a forum to discuss strategies for regulation and reform, in the aftermath of the ICN2 and under the umbrella of the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2016-2025. Nine parallel sessions comprising expert presentations and country case studies were complemented by a session on the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition, a student’s session, plenary and special events. These proceedings include summaries of the parallel sessions, summaries and transcriptions from the plenary and Decade of Action sessions, to contribute to better-informed, accelerated action at national, regional and global levels on the urgent need to improve the human and environmental health of food systems worldwide and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

    Project
    Strengthened Food Safety and Quality Control of Livestock Products in Thailand 2018
    Also available in:

    The food supply chain management of livestock products has become significant in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in view of the common ASEAN market. Because of its geographical advantages, Thailand plans to be the logistic hub for ASEAN. The significant increase in the quantity of imported and exported food products among member states, however, has raised concerns about health and food safety issues. The overlap of roles and responsibilities of various departments or organizations involved in food supply chain management is a problem, above all when urgent food safety incidents occur. The current project aimed to improve the food supply chain management of the livestock sector by assessing the food controls of the food safety authorities involved. It would also strengthen the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN), with a specific focus on the coordinating mechanism. The project was implemented in the two pilot provinces of Chiang Mai and Saraburi. KEY
