Descripción
FAO/WHO GIFT (Global Individual Food consumption data Tool) consists of a global database, containing individual quantitative food consumption data from any country disregarding their level of income, made freely accessible online through an interactive web platform. FAO/WHO GIFT aims to be a multipurpose tool, providing information on specific indicators that are needed to inform nutrition-sensitive agriculture and food security policies by improving nutrition and food systems. The use of simpl e and accurate food-based indicators, derived from sex and age disaggregated data on individual food consumption, strengthens nutrition information systems and helps to promote the consumption of healthy and nutritious foods, based on local food systems and biodiversity. Quantitative individual food consumption data are also needed for food safety risk analysis, natural resources’ management and to mitigate climate change.
