Book (series)Manual / guideBuenas prácticas para la industria de la carne 2004En años recientes se ha despertado el interés público en torno a la inocuidad alimentaria de origen animal, debido a los problemas que han surgido con la encefalopatía espongiforme bovina (BSE), así como con brotes de infecciones bacterianas y la contaminación de alimentos con agentes tóxicos (por ejemplo, dioxinas). Estos problemas tienen serias implicaciones en la seguridad alimentaria nacional, en el desarrollo de industrias de productos de origen animal y para el comercio internacion al. El propósito de este Manual de Buenas Prácticas para la Industria de la Carne, es proveer con información detallada y actualizada, así como una guía práctica para la implementación de un nuevo Código de Prácticas de Higiene para la Carne, cuando sea adoptado por la Comisión del Codex Alimentarius. La publicación tiene la intención de guiar a los responsables de los mataderos y de la industria cárnica. Esto también será de valiosa ayuda a los veterinarios involucrados en la inspecci ón de carne, con sus funciones supervisoras en la higiene de la carne.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGreenhouse gas emissions from ruminant supply chains – A global life cycle assessment
A global life cycle assessment
2013Also available in:
No results found.In decades to come, the global demand for livestock products will continue to increase driven by growing populations, incomes and urbanization. As a consequence the sector needs to produce more but in a context of increasing natural resource scarcity and challenges posed by climate change. In 2010, the ruminant sector contributed about 29 percent to global meat production (equivalent to 81 million tonnes) of which 79 percent is from the cattle sector and the remaining from buffalo and small ruminants. Global milk production in 2010 was 717 million tonnes with milk production from the cattle sector contributing the bulk, about 83 percent of global production. While ruminants play an important role in providing high quality protein essential for human diets, they are an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The demand for bovine meat, mutton and milk is forecasted to grow at a rate of 1.2 percent, 1.5 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, during the period 2006-205 0. To avoid significant increases in total GHG emissions from the sector, a reduction of the intensity of emissions is required. This report presents a life cycle analysis of the GHG emissions arising from ruminant supply chains around the year 2005. This first comprehensive and disaggregated global assessment of emissions enables the understanding of emission pathways and hotspots. This is a fundamental and initial step to identify mitigation strategies and inform public debate. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineEnvironmental performance of animal feeds supply chains: Guidelines for assessment
Version 1
2016Also available in:
No results found.The methodology developed in these draft guidelines aims to introduce a harmonized international approach to the assessment of the environmental performance of animal feed supply chains in a manner that takes account of the specificity of the various production systems involved. It aims to increase understanding of animal feed supply chains and help improve their environmental performance. The guidelines are a product of the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership, a multi-stakeholder initiative whose goal is to improve the environmental sustainability of the livestock sector through better metrics and data. -
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.
