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.

Dr Rozenn Gazan, PhD, MS-Nutrition

Dr Ramani Wijesinha-Bettoni, Nutrition Officer, FAO

Dimensions for the future of food systems

Food systems include the governance and economics of food, its sustainability, and the processes associated with the production, distribution, and consumption of it. Their political, social, and environmental dimensions impact our natural resources, human health, and most dimensions of life on Earth...

The role of Agricultural Innovation Systems in Central Asia and Caucasus countries and China towards more sustainable food security and nutrition

本次在线论坛旨在向社会各界提供经验交流和知识共享平台,推动并加强中亚、高加索地区 及中国农业创新及推广体系建设(AIS)。 农业劳动者(尤其女性)、政府公共服务部门、私营部门、政策制定者与学术界之间缺乏有 效交流与沟通这一现象是制约中亚、高加索区域和中国进行农业创新及推广体系建设面临的共同 问题。农业劳动者难以获得日新月异的科技信息以及变化莫测的市场信息,从而无法从科技创新 和技术进步中获益并提高生计。

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
