I really like this framework for holistically tracking food system performance. Food systems must:
• Provide healthy, affordable diets
• Protect the environment
• Sustain livelihoods equitably
• Be resilient to shocks
• Have effective governance

Food systems are essential for human life. But they can also cause problems. Our new report shows where countries are doing well and where they can improve. All countries have unique successes and challenges.

🌿Africa has abundant indigenous food resources that support nutrition and health. 'Before we talk about what more we can do, how do we take care of what we already have?' -Hon. Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda, Minister of Health, Malawi #ANH2023

So pleased to see the #DQQ highlighted in this East Africa Nutrition Surveillance workshop - as a feasible way to collect diet data routinely in the population

What makes up a healthy diet? Is a diversity of food groups enough?

Principal Investigator at the Global Diet Quality Project Anna Herforth sat down with Caitlin Welsh (@welshce) & FAO in North America's Lauren M. Phillips on #ResetTheTable to discuss: bit.ly/3FjxHHO

This is huge. New preprint with first ever data on the state of food systems worldwide.

50 indicators across diets, nutrition & health; environment, natural resources & production; livelihoods, poverty & equity; governance; & resilience & sustainability.

Cost and Affordability of a Healthy Diet data are now available on #FAOSTAT ! On behalf of the whole #FoodPricesforNutrition team, so pleased to have collaborated with Food and Agriculture Organization to produce these indicators.

Different dietary data collection tools have different purposes. For prevalence of consumption of specific food groups or indicators for diet quality monitoring, the recently developed Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) by Anna Herforth and team works well.

Three years ago, Julius came to me with an idea: can we crowdsource diet quality data? Using the #DQQ , we've been able to do. Honoured to have our work in this game changing report (globaldietquality.org/reports) by Anna Herforth, Ty Beal, and Gina Kennedy. IITA

“We knew that diets can be unhealthy in many different ways, these results put data behind it. No country, no income level, is immune to the effects of unhealthy diets” So important. Huge congrats Anna Herforth Ty Beal Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health GAIN globaldietquality.org/reports
