Technical bookWhat are healthy diets?

2024Also available in:
No results found.The critical role of diets for the prevention of all forms of malnutrition, for disease prevention and health promotion, as well as the interconnections between food production, diets and the environment, have never been more evident.Heads have turned to the agrifood system and the ways in which it can and must be transformed to contribute to the commitments of ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition, elevating levels of human health, and protecting and restoring the environment. But lack of consensus of what constitutes healthy diets can undermine progress and continuity of efforts to achieve them.To accelerate progress towards the achievement of these interconnected commitments, FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) have formulated principles of what constitutes healthy diets. -

Statistics on dietary data – October 2025 update
2025Also available in:
No results found.One of the main obstacles towards a healthy diet for all is the insufficiency of available data and statistics on food and nutrition to support effective evidence-based policies. Despite the increasing availability of data, policymakers are often not aware of their existence or their relevance, and consequently these data are not used properly or to their full potential. An added challenge is the scattered location of such data and statistics, and the lack of a centralized structure to house harmonized statistics on food and nutrition from different types of dietary data. As a result of this, teams from three divisions of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) joined forces to produce and publish harmonized food and nutrient statistics from different types of dietary data by creating an integrated food and diet domain available through FAOSTAT. The domain was launched in February 2024 and is the first centralized location for the sharing of statistics on different forms of dietary-related data. The domain provides energy, macro- and micro-nutrient statistics and is composed of four subdomains presenting availability based on FAO supply utilization accounts (SUA) data, for 178 countries from 2010 to 2023; apparent intake based on 59 household consumption and expenditure surveys (HCES) conducted in 34 countries between 2010 and 2024; intake based on eight nationally representative individual quantitative dietary data surveys from five countries; and statistics related to the Minimum Dietary for Women (MDD-W) indicator from 25 surveys, conducted in 23 countries.
