Record 1 2015-09-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Canada's safeguards also include the removal of potentially harmful cattle tissues from the human food supply. This and other measures within the meat inspection system protect the safety of Canadian beef and beef products from BSE [Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie de l'alimentation
CONT

Le Canada exige aussi l'élimination des tissus bovins potentiellement dangereux de la filière alimentaire humaine. Cette mesure, parmi d'autres prévues dans le système d'inspection des viandes, assure l'innocuité du bœuf et des produits du bœuf canadiens.

Record 2 2015-04-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
  • Food Safety
  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

The Canadian food supply is one of the safest in the world. However, no food safety system can guarantee zero risk. At any point in the production system, food can become contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites, chemicals, undeclared allergens or material such as glass or metal fragments.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réglementation et normalisation (Alimentation)
  • Salubrité alimentaire
  • Hygiène et santé
CONT

L'approvisionnement alimentaire du Canada est l'un des plus sûrs au monde. Cependant, aucun système de salubrité alimentaire ne garantit l'absence de risque. Des bactéries, des virus, des parasites, des produits chimiques, des allergènes non déclarés ou des matières, comme des fragments de verre ou de métal, peuvent contaminer des aliments, et ce, à n'importe quelle étape du système de production.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Reglamentación y normalización (Alimentación)
  • Inocuidad Alimentaria
  • Higiene y Salud
CONT

El incremento del comercio internacional de alimentos y la aplicación de nuevas tecnologías a la producción, elaboración y distribución de ellos presentan [...] nuevos desafíos para las políticas, la institucionalidad y la industria alimentaria. Estos elementos [...] nos obligan a resolver los más importantes déficits de nuestro sistema de inocuidad de los alimentos como es la debilidad del proceso de evaluación de riesgos [...]. Los nuevos contextos nacionales e internacionales nos exigen, entonces, dar mayor articulación y coherencia a la política, a la institucionalidad y a los programas de control e higiene de los alimentos.

Record 3 2011-09-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Soil Science
  • Plant Biology
  • Silviculture
DEF

The soil immediately surrounding the root system of a plant.

CONT

The soil-plant system is one of the most important components in agricultural and natural ecosystems. Nutrient dynamics in soil-plant systems not only reflect the pattern of nutrient flow but also influence food production and quality, and the contaminant pathways in agricultural and natural ecosystems. In soil-plant systems, interaction between nutrients occur when the supply of one nutrient affects the movement, absorption, or utilization of an nutrient within the soil, soil-root interface(rhizosphere), or plant. There are several mechanisms of nutrient interaction in soil-plany systems.

OBS

The zone of rooting medium in which the environment for microbial activity in general is influenced by any root growing in it, distinguishing it from the "bulk" or "non-rhizosphere" soil, which is influenced by growing roots only by the withdrawal of water and nutrients.

Key term(s)
  • soil root interface

French

Domaine(s)
  • Science du sol
  • Biologie végétale
  • Sylviculture
DEF

Partie du sol pénétrée par les racines des plantes, très riche en micro-organismes et en substances biologiques.

CONT

L'horizon du sol dans lequel se développent les racines des plantes est la zone racinaire.

CONT

Étude structurale et fonctionnelle de la rhizosphère : description du système racinaire et de l'interface sol-racine, mécanismes physicochimiques et biophysiques impliqués, interactions microorganismes-racines.

OBS

La rhizosphère de chaque espèce végétale a une flore spécifique (bactéries, champignons).

Key term(s)
  • interface sol racine

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Ciencia del suelo
  • Biología vegetal
  • Silvicultura
DEF

Parte del suelo ocupada por raíces.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
  • Economic Co-operation and Development
CONT

Coordination of activities, sharing of data and information, and more intense management of supply and agribusiness and the food industry... a very simplified depiction of the "food value chain". It is a linear depiction of the major industries that ultimately participate in the food production system.

French
