between populations of host and parasites)
application of information technology
data acquisition in data-sparse areas
holistic approach (socio-economic and
environmental background)

fair practice in food trade
CENTAUR NETWORK
Codex alimentarius
created in 1963 by FAO and WHO to develop
food standards
guidelines
codes of practice
protection of health of consumers
ensuring the fair trade practice
promotion of collaboration
CENTAUR NETWORK
Other international organizations
co-operating with FAO (1)
