Resumen
Descripción
The concept outlines the context, objectives, target audience, agenda and speakers for two linked live online events on the costs and affordability of healthy diets. The first is a World Bank Online Event on Thursday, July 14th followed by an IFPRI Policy Seminar on July 15th, both co-organized by FAO and Tufts University. These two events follow on from the July 12th official launch The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 report which announced the latest updates to the UN system’s standardized global data on the Cost and Affordability of a Healthy Diet (CoAHD). Those data provide official FAO statistics for the daily cost of a healthy diet as well as the number and percentage of people who cannot afford a healthy diet in each country. The two online events are designed to equip decision-makers and analysts with the newly release findings can be used to guide agricultural and agrifood systems towards improved nutrition. The World Bank will also disseminate those three headline estimates plus more granular data and indicators on diet costs and affordability in a new Food Prices for Nutrition Data Hub.
