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.
