Recommendations for "Health and Safety (120 results)"
Develop capacity to meet national and international food safety and quality standards, frameworks, and schemes, ensuring that they are appropriate for different scales, contexts and modes of production and marketing, in particular CODEX Alimentarius standards;
2016
Improve disease prevention, control, and surveillance, including through cross border cooperation on transboundary diseases, in order to foster early-warning and early action on disease control, spread and eradication, with emphasis on the Peste des Petits Ruminants Global Eradication Programme (PPR).
2016
Improve animal health management including biosafety and biosecurity, particularly focusing on infectious diseases, zoonosis, and reducing exposure to environmental hazards, by following OIE (World Organization for Animal Health) standards, and the One Health approach;
2016
Increase smallholder-specific research and evidence on how to integrate the agricultural, nutrition, and health sectors in ways that have the most benefits for small-holders and on how to scale up successful innovations and initiatives.
2013
Promote pro-smallholder value chains through institutional innovations for vertical and horizontal coordination among smallholders, including group lending, rural marketing cooperatives and producer associations. These mechanisms will provide smallholder farmers with reduced transaction costs, improved access to market information, and increased bargaining power. However, such coordination mechanisms require strong institutional capacity and the active promotion of smallholder participation—not just membership—within these organizations to gain the maximum benefit for smallholders.
2013
Public and private investments in agriculture-based and transforming economies should focus on reducing food loss along entire supply chains, from the development of crop varieties with better postharvest traits to better storage equipment and facilities that have low initial and recurring costs.
2013
Safety regulations and monitoring systems need to be developed and implemented to ensure that agricultural intensification does not harm people’s health, but regulations must be implemented in a way that does not alienate smallholders.
2013
Strengthen food industry regulations to help ensure easier and more affordable access to healthy diets by reducing the content of fat, sugar and salt in foods or increasing access to foods fortified with micronutrients. Recommended regulation measures include the introduction of legislation to ban the use of industrial trans fats, encouraging the reformulation of processed foods, the introduction of improved nutrition labelling (including simplified front-of-pack labelling) and the use of fiscal or agricultural policies to replace trans fats and saturated fats with unsaturated fats, in addition to policies that limit portion and package size.
2020
Clean and sufficient drinking water, proper sanitation, drains for wastewater and proper management of solid waste are key interventions in deprived areas to aide against infectious diseases and malnourishment.
2020
Ensure that Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS) are installed in the food industry based on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles to manage food safety risks and prevent food contamination.
2020
To minimize barriers to trade that might arise from divergent national regulations, global standard‑setting bodies such as the Codex Alimentarius Joint FAO/WHO (World Health Organization) International Food Standards Programme aim at harmonizing standards at international level. The use of international food standards worldwide helps protect consumers and reduce trade costs by making trade more transparent and efficient, allowing food to move more smoothly between markets. Both the WTO SPS and Technical Barriers to Trade Agreements strongly encourage WTO members to build on international standards, guidelines and recommendations as the basis for their national measures.
2020
Private standards often complement public regulation, for example, by referring to sustainability attributes such as environmental protection or ethical sourcing. Moreover, private standards may also fill the gap created by missing public regulation or enforce more stringent requirements than foreseen in national regulations.
2020
Integrating climate and food security questions into health risk assessments is also important in providing early signals for potential outbreaks of disease, thus triggering early action. There are significant benefits to coordinating needs assessments in livelihoods, nutrition, health and other sectors to save more lives and protect and restore more livelihoods.
2018
It is important to have stronger surveillance systems in place that can identify food safety issues and infectious diseases, so that control systems can rapidly and accurately notify populations at local, national and international levels. Enhance early warning systems and emergency preparedness for rapid response and recovery from extreme climate events; and protect critical health infrastructure from extreme climate events.
2018
Investment in universal health coverage that both ensures primary health care interventions and builds community resilience is key. Funding needs to address the determinants of environmental and social health (such as housing safety and air, water and food quality) under various climate conditions; improve social welfare in emergency situations; and provide essential nutrition actions, including screening for and managing cases of child and adult malnutrition. It is equally important to take into account the diverse composition of modern communities (including migrants and different ethnicities) as well as differences in health-seeking behaviours.

2014
Fight against animal and plant diseases and biological threats by committing to the “One Health approach,” that emphasizes relationships between animal and human health. Promote international cooperation to tackle the threat through World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), FAO and World Health Organization (WHO), including Codex Alimentarius, as well as International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). Assist countries to implement the WHO regulations (IHR) including through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and its common targets in 2014. Advocate for emergency management of infectious disease and capacity building in SPS areas, especially in countries and regions with underdeveloped infrastructure.
2016
Combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), responding at global, regional, and national levels. Develop or review and effectively implement national action plans and support other countries as they develop their own national action plans, encouraging efforts to ensure prudent use of antibiotics in human and animal sectors and agriculture and therefore to phase out the use of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals in the absence of risk analysis and to strive to preserve the use of antibiotics only for therapeutic reasons in human and veterinary medicine. Encourage countries to participate in relevant activities, in cooperation with OIE, FAO and WHO, including Codex, as well as OECD.

Economic and social policies, and legislation and governance structures should be in place well in advance of economic slowdowns and downturns to counteract the effects of adverse economic cycles when they do arrive, and to maintain access to nutritious foods, especially for the most vulnerable population groups, including women and children. In the immediate term, these must include social protection mechanisms and primary healthcare services.
2021
In conflict-affected areas, maintaining that conflict-sensitive food systems function to the highest extent possible, while also aligning actions for immediate humanitarian assistance to protect lives and livelihoods with development and sustaining peace efforts, is the key to building resilience of the most vulnerable in these areas.
2021
The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that during economic slowdowns and downturns, it is critical to keep food supply chains operational, while providing adequate support to the livelihoods of the most vulnerable, ensuring continued production and access to nutritious foods, including through enhanced social protection programmes.
2021
It is important to recall that the majority of chronically food-insecure individuals, and many of the malnourished, live in countries affected by insecurity and conflict. Therefore, it is imperative that conflict-sensitive policies, investments and actions to reduce immediate food insecurity and malnutrition be implemented simultaneously with those aimed at a reduction in the levels of conflict, and aligned with long-term socio-economic development and peace-building efforts.
2021
Inputs from health systems can support and reinforce food systems transformation, for example, through the provision of essential nutrition actions in universal health coverage.
