Acquiring accurate and timely statistical data is crucial for shaping effective strategies in agrifood systems, directly impacting living standards across nations. Food balance sheets are a structured representation of a country’s food availability, presented as an accounting of the supply and use of resources and food during a specified reference period. They are pivotal statistics, which provide comprehensive insights into national food consumption patterns, levels and trends. This handbook provides an essential description of the methodology used by FAO to develop food balance sheets. It aims to familiarize Member Nations, food budgeting institutions, and other interested parties with the core processes involved in data collection and imputation strategies specifically for agricultural and livestock products.
