No results found.A major barrier to achieving healthy diets for all is the lack of comprehensive dietary data to guide evidence-based policies. Understanding consumption patterns is essential for nutrition policies, agriculture, health interventions and education. In many low- and middle-income countries, large-scale food consumption surveys are limited, leaving decision-makers to rely on national food availability data, like the Supply Utilization Accounts (SUA), or household data from Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES). While useful, these sources have limitations. SUA, for instance, includes only energy, protein and fat but lacks essential micronutrient data. Under the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031, a multi division team developed and launched the Food and Diet Domain on the FAO Corporate Food and Agriculture Database (FAOSTAT), providing publicly accessible, harmonized dietary data to support global healthy diet policies. This resource fills gaps in dietary data and enhances the ability of policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions. -
