The FAO Nutrition Division provides expertise to support countries in collecting, harmonizing and disseminating high quality information on diet and nutrition. To this scope, we improve assessment tools; develop countries’ capacities to collect data; and work to develop a global web-based platform providing free access to country-specific nutrition information based on food consumption.
