Better data, better policies, better diets

Welcome to the FAO/WHO GIFT dissemination platform!

This platform aims at supporting policy makers, program planners, NGO staff and many other stakeholders in taking informed decisions at country, regional and global level in the area of nutrition and food safety. FAO/WHO GIFT’s mission is to make publicly available existing quantitative individual food consumption data from all countries around the world, collected through both large nationwide and small scale surveys.

The platform provides dietary indicators and summary statistics, as well as microdata.
