Coordinador: Darío Maggioni (Argentina)

Secretario: Greivin Perez (Costa Rica)

Secretaria Adjunta: Susana Briceño (Costa Rica)

 

What we do
 
El Comité de Evaluación de Riesgo (Risk Assessement Committe) perteneciente a RALACA es un comité científico-técnico ad-honorem integrado por profesionales e investigadores de distintos países de América Latina y el Caribe el cual tiene como principal objetivo contribuir con el desarrollo y la aplicación de metodologías para la evaluación de riesgos en alimentos. Desde sus comienzos ha orientado sus actividades hacia el tema específico de la evaluación de riesgo dietario para residuos de plaguicidas (dietary risk assessment for pesticide residues) el cual se considera de gran importancia habida cuenta del extendido uso que se hace de estas sustancias y del potencial impacto que pueden tener sobre la salud de la población.

Do you work with data? Here's a chance to harmonize individual quantitative food consumption data and publish it in FAO statistical databases.

FAO and WHO work jointly to improve the availability of Individual Quantitative Food Consumption Data worldwide by collating existing datasets, harmonizing them and sharing through an online platform called the FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT).
 

This Call for Expression of Interest, issued by FAO, is to identify institutions from Low and Middle-Income Countries, with access to Individual Quantitative Food Consumption Data that could be shared through the FAO/WHO GIFT platform, interested in entering into a contractual agreement with FAO to harmonize these datasets as well as their supporting documentation according to FAO standards. Based on such agreement FAO will cover the costs of the harmonization work.

Thematic Areas

Para contar con alimentos seguros y saludables necesitamos de todos y todas: consumidores informados, una industria alimentaria responsable, productores capacitados, instituciones de fomento productivo que incorporan la inocuidad alimentaria y la calidad en sus programas e instrumentos y científicos que generen conocimiento e investigación que apoye el desarrolle de nuevas normativas y mejores procedimientos. Si bien, el Estado promueve todo lo anterior a partir de sus políticas, planes y programas, todos y todas tenemos una cuota de responsabilidad. La Agencia contribuye a mirar el sistema alimentario completo, analizar los puntos críticos y mejorar la coordinación entre todos estos actores.

El logro de la inocuidad de los alimentos como medio para proteger la salud pública y promover el desarrollo económico continúa siendo un importante desafío en los países tanto en desarrollo como desarrollados. Las enfermedades transmitidas por los alimentos (ETA) como consecuencia de patógenos microbianos y contaminantes químicos representan graves amenazas para la salud de millones de personas. En los pasados decenios se han documentado graves brotes de ETA en todos los continentes, lo que demuestra su importancia desde el punto de vista social y de salud pública.
