Survey on the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises
The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched a survey to collect experiences and good practices in the use and application of the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises (CFS-FFA).
This survey complements an earlier call for inputs issued in March 2019 and will contribute to monitoring progress on the use and application of the CFS-FFA, both from a qualitative and quantitative perspective.
The survey is available in English, French and Spanish and you are welcome to provide your answers in any of the six UN languages. Deadline is the 30 April 2020.

Lors de sa quarante-cinquième session plénière tenue du 15 au 20 octobre 2018, le Comité de la sécurité alimentaire mondiale (CSA) a demandé à son Groupe d’experts de haut niveau sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition (GrEHN-SAN / HLPE) de produire un rapport court, intitulé «Sécurité alimentaire et nutrition: exposé des faits mondial à l’horizon 2030», qui fasse le bilan des contributions passées du HLPE, «en vue d’éclairer les activités futures du CSA pour garantir la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle de tous dans le cadre du Programme 2030». Le rapport sera présenté à la 47e session plénière du CSA en octobre 2020.

Webinar: Diet modelling in the development of food-based dietary guidelines
Most food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) are accompanied by a graphic which expresses recommendations in a visual format, such as a plate or pyramid, in order to facilitate understanding by the general population. However, details on how the proportionalities of food groups depicted are arrived at are often not published, and there does not appear to be one clear way of doing this. Several (mainly high income) countries use formal diet? modelling approaches to develop food patterns or food guides intended to provide consumers with information on how to select the types and amounts of food to be consumed from specified food groups in order to meet the FBDGs recommendations. Such guides are meant to promote a desirable pattern of eating rather than prescribe a dietary pattern. Linear programming is one method used to develop food patterns that are consistent with nutrient recommendations, current eating habits, and if data are available, environmental considerations. Is diet modelling of relevance for low and middle-income countries (LMIC), which often lack data and resources, in their FBDGs development process?
In this webinar, we will explore the potential of diet modelling for LMIC, focusing on the following questions:
- What is diet modelling/diet optimization? What are its applications?
- How does diet modelling fit in with the FAO process for developing FBDGs? (Introduction to the FAO diet modelling package for FBDGs)
- What has been a country experience with diet modelling for FBDGs using the FAO package?
The webinar will introduce the FAO diet modelling package for FBDGs, and highlight the experience of using the package in Zambia.

The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2019
The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI 2019) was launched today in New York City.
The report gives an updated estimate of the number of hungry people in the world, including regional and national breakdowns, and provides the latest data on child stunting and wasting as well as on adult and child obesity.
This year, for the first time, the report also present the estimates of a new indicator: the prevalence of moderate and severe food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES).
This new edition of the report also includes a special focus on economic slowdowns and downturns, which are among the main drivers behind the recent rise in world hunger.
The report, which is developed thanks to the collaboration of FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO, is an important measure of global progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal of #ZeroHunger.

Webinar: Food-based Dietary Guidelines
A solid evidence base is a pre-requisite for food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) to be able to address country-specific nutrition needs while being socially, culturally and economically appropriate. With the increasing burden of overweight and obesity and other modern sustainable development challenges, the evidence base must thus reflect these evolving considerations. In addition, amidst increasing pressures from commercial interests and civil society/academia’s questioning of the integrity of dietary advice, maintaining transparency and high standards in the evidence review of FBDGs has become a critical issue.
However, with the exception of some countries, not much is known about the actual methods used and activities carried out during the FBDGs evidence review process. In this webinar, we will tackle some of these gaps focusing on the following questions:
- Why is the evidence review a key step in the development of FBDGs?
- What are the main processes involved? What is the current FAO process for conducting an evidence review?
- What are some challenges and responses in LMICs?
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 09 July 2019 at 15.30-17.00 CEST
The webinar will also highlight two country cases and present FAO’s current work in this field.
This is the second of a series of six webinars on FBDGs organized by the Nutrition Education and Consumer Awareness Team of FAO
