DocumentFood Safety Foresight Technical Meeting on New Food Sources and Production Systems FAO, Headquarters, Rome, Italy: 13 – 17 November 2023

2023Also available in:
No results found.New food sources and production systems (NFPS) can play a critical role in the transformation of our agrifood systems by diversifying our current ways of producing food. Therefore, it is important that FAO monitors this space, keeps gathering relevant information and disseminates sound technical advice on NFPS, particularly in the context of the food safety aspects of NFPS. Based on this objective and aiming to also build on the previous work of FAO in the area, the Food Safety Foresight Programme of the Food Systems and Food Safety Division of FAO organized a technical meeting to discuss the food safety aspects of i) plant-based food products, ii) new applications of precision fermentation, and iii) 3D food printing. At the meeting foresight approaches were used to explore the possible future landscape of NFPS. Applying foresight approaches in agrifood systems, and particularly in food safety, will allow FAO and its members to prepare for potential emerging threats, disruptions, and challenges, while also being ready to optimize opportunities that may arise in the medium- to long-term future. This executive summary report summarizes the key conclusions of the meeting and outlines some data gaps and research needs pertaining to the three focus areas. -
BookletFAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety within the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-2031 2023Elaborated at the request of the 27th Session of the Committee on Agriculture, the FAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety within the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 were endorsed by the FAO Council in December 2022. These Strategic Priorities are articulated around four interconnected Strategic Outcomes focused on governance, scientific advice, strengthening national food control systems and fostering public–private partnerships along the food chain. They result from an iterative consultative process led by FAO with its Members and international partner organizations, including, notably WHO. The FAO Strategic Priorities for Food Safety 2022–2031 encourage a more consistent integration of food safety into the development of sustainable and inclusive agrifood systems, food security and nutrition policies, and agriculture development strategies. FAO expects the Strategic Priorities for Food Safety to act as an instrument that will spur investments to strengthen food safety, to enhance effective participation in food safety standards-setting and to secure adequate human and financial resources for FAO to successfully implement its food safety programme and to provide international guidance, policy and advocacy for policymakers.
