2020年世界粮食安全和营养状况
由于更新了很多国家的数据,今年我们能更精确地对世界饥饿状况进行估算。尤其是新数据的出现帮助我们对中国2000年以来所有食物不足系列年度估计数进行了重新修订,大幅调低了世界食物不足人数。尽管如此,修订后的数字仍印证了以往几期报告中提出的趋势:全球饥饿人口数量自2014年起一直呈缓慢增加趋势。报告还显示,各种形式营养不良带来的负担依然是一项挑战。虽然在儿童发育迟缓、低出生体重和纯母乳喂养相关方面已取得一定进展,但进展速度依然过慢。在所有区域,儿童超重问题尚未得到改善,成人肥胖问题则不断加重。 本报告除了对粮食安全和营养状况进行常规评估外,还增加了在假设过去十年趋势持续不变的情况下...
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.

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.
