UN: global foodschains in danger due to the crisis
The human food chain is under continued threat from an alarming increase in the number of outbreaks of transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases (including aquatic and forest pests and diseases), as well as food safety and radiation events.
Avian influenza, peste des petits ruminants, locust infestations, wheat, cassava, maize and banana diseases, armyworm, fruit flies, food-borne pathogens and mycotoxins are just some examples of threats to the human food chain that have detrimental effects on food security, human health, livelihoods, national economies and global markets.
The Food Chain Crisis – Emergency Prevention System (FCC-EMPRES) is a corporate multidisciplinary approach that integrates prevention, early warning, preparedness, and response to food chain emergencies. FAO through FCC-EMPRES supports member countries and enhances institutional collaboration in the global governance of transboundary threats to the food chain at all stages from production to consumption.
