Book (stand-alone)Normative documentDirectrices FAO/OMS para los gobiernos sobre la aplicación del sistema de APPCC en impresas alimentarias pequeñas y/o menos desarrolladas 2007El presente documento tiene por objeto prestar asistencia a las autoridades nacionales de inocuidad de los alimentos en la elaboración de una estrategia de APPCC para las empresas pequeñas y/o menos desarrolladas en el marco de una política nacional de inocuidad de los alimentos. Es el resultado de la experiencia colectiva, nacional e internacional. Siempre que resulta posible, se facilitan ejemplos de enfoques nacionales. Aun reconociendo los obstáculos a los que se enfrentan las empresas pequeñas y/o menos desarrolladas en sus esfuerzos por aplicar sistemas de APPCC, se presentan enfoques para abordar dichos obstáculos que se han probado y analizado en todo el mundo.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuía FAO/OMS para la aplicación de principios y procedimientos de análisis de riesgos en situaciones de emergencia relativas a la inocuidad de los alimentos 2011Una parte esencial para responder a situaciones de emergencia relativas a la inocuidad de los alimentos (IEIA) es el proceso de evaluación del riesgo, la toma de decisiones para la gestión del riesgo, y la comunicación de riesgo cuando se tienen limitaciones de tiempo, pocos datos y vacíos de información. Si bien los elementos para llevar a cabo un análisis de riesgo han sido documentados por el Codex Alimentarus, el proceso para aplicar operativamente los conceptos del análisis de riesgo durant e una emergencia no han sido abordados extensamente. Sin embargo, algunos países tienen procedimientos bien definidos para la evaluación, manejo y comunicación del los riesgos en situaciones de emergencias relativas a inocuidad de alimentos, de los cuales se pueden derivar las mejores prácticas. FAO y OMS han desarrollado este documento para apoyar a los países a aplicar los principios y los procedimientos del análisis de riesgos durante una emergencia, dentro del contexto de su propio sistema nacional de control de alimentos, ya que el análisis de riesgo es un componente clave de los planes nacionales de intervención en situaciones de emergencia relativas a la inocuidad de los alimentos.

Book (series)GuidelineCaracterización de peligros de patógenos en los alimentos y el agua. Directrices. Serie de Evaluación de Riesgos Microbiológicos (MRA) 3 2004La evaluación de riesgos microbiológicos (ERM) es un nuevo instrumento para el análisis de la inocuidad de los suministros de alimentos y de agua. La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) desempeñan una función central en la elaboración y normalización de la ERM a nivel internacional, a fin de informar acerca de la gestión de riesgos en los alimentos tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. La elaborac ión de directrices, como éstas sobre la Caracterización de peligros de patógenos en los alimentos y el agua, son importantes en la realización de estas tareas. Las directrices están orientadas sobre todo a una audiencia multidisciplinar, que interviene directamente en la elaboración y el examen de documentos relativos a la ERM a nivel internacional o nacional. También serán útiles para los gestores de riesgos que basan sus decisiones en los resultados de la evaluación de riesgos y deben conoce r los principios y postulados subyacentes que respaldan estas evaluaciones.

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.

Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated. -
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.
