No results found.The development of international food safety standards through the Codex Alimentarius Commission is core to the mission of both FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO). In particular, Codex pesticide Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) are essential to all farmers engaged in global trade. The FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) is a scientific advisory body to the Codex Committees on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) for setting MRLs in food and feed. With the schedule for the JMPR review currently full for the next few years, and in order to meet the increasing demand for Codex MRLs, there was an urgent need to expand the capacity of the JMPR. -

Book (series)Technical studyMicrobiological Risk Assessment – Guidance for food 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This document provides guidance on undertaking risk assessment of all microbial hazards which may adversely affect human health in foods along a food chain. This document is also intended to provide practical guidance on a structured framework for carrying out risk assessment of microbiological hazards in foods, focussing on the four components including hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment and risk characterization. These guidelines therefore represent the best practice at the time of their preparation, and it is hoped that they will help stimulate further developments and disseminate the current knowledge. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
