CLIMATE CHANGE_ UNPACKING THE BURDEN OF FOOD SAFETY
- FAO.pdf (12,0MB) : https://dgroups.org/?cszt9p4x.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Dear All,
FAO recently released this publication which you might find useful.
FAO. 2020. Climate change: Unpacking the burden on food safety. Food
safety and quality series No. 8. Rome. 176 pages
Climate change is causing unprecedented damage to our ecosystem.
Increasing temperatures, ocean warming and acidification, severe
droughts, wildfires, altered precipitation patterns, melting glaciers,
rising sea levels and amplification of extreme weather events have
direct implications for our food systems. While the impacts of such
environmental factors on food security are well known, the effects on
food safety receive less attention.
The purpose of Climate change: Unpacking the burden on food safety is to
identify and attempt to quantify some current and anticipated food
safety issues that are associated with climate change.
The food safety hazards considered in the publication are foodborne
pathogens and parasites, harmful algal blooms, pesticides, mycotoxins
and heavy metals with emphasis on methylmercury. There is also, a
dedicated section on the benefits of forward-looking approaches such as
horizon scanning and foresight, which will not only aid in anticipating
future challenges in a shifting global food safety landscape, but also
help build resilient food systems that can be continually updated as
more knowledge is assimilated.
By building a more widespread and better understanding of the
consequences climate change has on food safety, it is hoped that this
document will aid in fostering stronger international cooperation in
making our food safer by reducing the global burden of these concerns.
