Resumen
Descripción
This publication aims at providing information on food consumption levels and patterns obtained from household surveys. As such, it replaces the Review of Food Consumption Surveys, which was last issued in 1988. This first issue of the publication presents data not only from the recent surveys but also, in a number of cases, from some undertaken as far back as the 1970's in order to provide some perspective of the changes over time. However, because of the many surveys involved, it is being issued in two volumes: Volume One, covering the developing countries in Asia, and Volume Two, covering the rest of the developing countries in Africa, Latin America and Oceania. Another compendium covering the developed countries will be issued, probably in 1994, following the computerization of all the available survey in the FAO Statistics Division's data base. Subsequently, a single compendium, updating the information, will be periodically issued.
