    Compendium of nutrition-sensitive indicators in agriculture 2016
    Also available in:
    This simple guide is for those responsible for the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of investment projects in food and agriculture (including and in addition to value chains, social development, and rural development) that need to demonstrate that they lead to intermediary results toward improved nutrition. This compendium aims to gather the main existing nutrition-relevant indicators that can be used for M&E of food and agriculture investments, and to show which type of investments each type of indicator is most appropriate for.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.

    Mixed dishes consumed away from home or from communal plates: Standard recipe and portion approaches for MDD-W data collection
    An annex to Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women – An updated guide for measurement: from collection to action
    2024
    Also available in:
    This document provides guidance on how to treat mixed dishes during the collection and construction of the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) indicator. Mixed dishes – such as soups, stews, curries and sandwiches – refer to recipes that contain two or more ingredients. Some ingredients may be used in large quantities, while others may be used in smaller quantities, for example, to add flavour. The focus of the current document is on mixed dishes that were consumed away from home or from communal plates (i.e. shared dishes or pots), and that were not prepared by the respondents themselves. The guidance presented here is most relevant to data collection efforts using the non-quantitative open recall method (Hanley-Cook et al., 2020). This document is intended as an annex to Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women – An updated guide for measurement: from collection to action – as published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2021 – which contains more general information on the MDD-W indicator.
