* Data refer to years prior to 1995
** includes Taiwan Province of China for food
availability and diet
diversification; additionally includes Hong Kong SAR of China for external assistance
to agriculture
*** estimates of food availability and diet diversification for 1999–2001 are not available; estimates for 1998–2000 published in SOFI 2002 were used instead.
Non-starchy foods: all food sources for DES, except cereals and roots and tubers.
Poverty, urban or rural: percentage of population living on less than the poverty line, urban or rural. These poverty lines are independent standards of living for urban or rural populations based on consumption of goods and services to meet basic needs.
Under-five mortality: probability that a newborn baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to current age-specific mortality rates. The probability is expressed as a rate per 1 000 live births.
Underweight: children below five years of age (0–4.99 years), except 0–2.99 years for Cameroon, Eritrea, India, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Mozambique, Myanmar, Togo and Uzbekistan; 0.5–2.99 years for Afghanistan; 0.25–4.99 years for El Salvador, Honduras and Sri Lanka; 0.5–4.99 years for Burundi, Guinea and TFYR Macedonia; 0–5.99 years for Chile; 1.0–5.99 years for Croatia; 1.0–6.99 years for Costa Rica.
External assistance to agriculture: the concessional and non-concessional commitments made in monetary terms by the bilateral and multilateral donors to countries for the development of agriculture including agro-industry, environmental activities related to agriculture, manufacturing of agricultural inputs, regional and river development, research, training and extension, and rural development.
