The development of competitive agro-industries is crucial for creating employment and income opportunities as well as enhancing the quality of and demand for farm products. Agro-industries can have a real effect on international development by increasing economic growth and reducing poverty in both rural and urban areas of developing countries. However, in order to avoid adverse effects to vulnerable countries and people, sound policies and strategies for fostering agro-industries are needed. Agro-industries for Development highlights the current status and future course for agro-industries and brings attention to the contributions this sector can make to international development. The book includes contributions from agro-industry specialists, academic experts and UN technical agencies, chapters address the strategies and actions required for improving agro-industrial competitiveness in ways that can create income, generate employment and fight poverty in the developing world.

Enhancing food security and nutrition policy assistance. Lessons from experience

Policy assistance series No. 5
Edited by: Balié, J.

Why is food security and nutrition (FSN) seldom a priority in national development planning? One reason is that strategies to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition are principally seen as a concern of the agricultural sector. Specific food insecurity reduction goals and targets are usually absent from most poverty reduction planning instruments. This book synthesises lessons learned from five countries - Bhutan, Cambodia, Kenya, Mozambique and United Republic of Tanzania - in providing policy assistance to better integrate FSN concerns in national policies and planning processes. Effective FSN policies should have strong links to social investment, poverty reduction measures, development policies and above all human dignity. These lessons will inform future FSN related policy assistance to member countries striving to eradicate the plight of hunger and malnutrition.

This document contains food additive specifications monographs, analytical methods and other information, prepared at the seventy-first meetings of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which was held in Geneva, from 16 to 24 june 2009. The specifications monographs provide information on the identity and purity of food additives used directly in food or in food production. The main three objectives of these specifications are to identify the food additive that has been subjected to testing for safety, to ensure that the additive is of the quality required for use in food or in processing , and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice. This publication, and other documents produced by JECFA, contain information that is useful to all those who work with or are interested in food additives and their safe use in food.

Cette publication a pour objet de synthétiser en un manuel l'expérience acquise ces dernières années par la FAO en matière d'élaboration de statistiques halieutiques, et de fournir aux planificateurs et aux utilisateurs des enquêtes des indications simples et progressives sur la conception et la conduite d'enquêtes halieutiques économiques et viables. Les concepts opérationnels et méthodologiques discutés ici s'appliquent tant aux pêches de capture marines que continentales; ils sont en outre présentés en termes suffisamment généraux pour pouvoir être adaptés aux systèmes courants de collecte de données. Les aspects statistiques sont présentés de manière descriptive plutôt que théorique. On a mis l'accent sur la compréhension et l'interprétation des statistiques produites et des indicateurs connexes plutôt que sur les calculs nécessaires à leur élaboration. Les lecteurs désireux d'en savoir davantage sur les démarches statistiques et mathématiques pourront se référer à la bibliographie figurant à la fin du manuel.
