Descripción

This study updates the methods for monitoring the affordability of a healthy diet, calculated semiannually by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Bank. The new affordability method described provides a valuable advance for the global monitoring of the cost and affordability of a healthy diet. From the initial method introduced in 2020 to the healthy diet basket approach introduced in 2022 and now the inclusion of the cost of basic non-food needs in 2024, this food access indicator has developed and matured rapidly.
