    More and more people are becoming overweight and obese, with increasing diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Behind the global shifts in malnutrition and NCDs are unhealthy diets and a sedentary lifestyle. Our food systems and the food environments are not delivering on the diets needed to promote and sustain optimum health. This publication focuses on Influencing food environments for healthy diets and offers suggestions on suitable interventions to address that environment. Countr ies will find the information useful as they develop policies and programmes to make healthy diets an easier choice for their citizens.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance III Project (FANTA) convened a consensus meeting in Washington DC on July 15-16, 2014, to select a simple proxy indicator for global use in assessing the micronutrient adequacy of women’s diets. Meeting participants from academia, international research institutes, UN and donor agencies unanimously endorsed and agreed to support the use of a new indicator, called Minimum Dietary Div ersity –Women (MDD-W). The new indicator reflects consumption of at least five of ten food groups (see the table on the next page), and can be generated from surveys. It provides a new tool for assessment, target-setting, and advocacy.
