Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope everyone is keeping well. I would like to share some news from FAO's food composition team with you.

We are kicking-off a new project, funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan, to update and expand the food composition evidence base for fish and aquatic foods. One of the main objectives of this exciting 3-year project is to update and expand the first version of the FAO/INFOODS Global food composition database for fish and shellfish, also called uFiSh1.0, which was published in 2016. The project includes collaborative initiatives with WorldFish, Lancaster University (UK) and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (IMR) aiming to improve overall data quality and availability on fish and aquatic foods. As a result of these joint efforts, other aquatic food databases such as the FishBase FishNutrients database will be updated, and the relationship between different datasets highlighted.

I would therefore like to introduce and welcome to the FAO team, Ms Yuko Nanjo and Ms Doris Rittenschober, who will both work in the Nutrition Assessment team of the Food and Nutrition Division at FAO. They can be contacted directly at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>; [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
In the coming weeks we will reach out to you to ask for your inputs on a short survey related to this work. I do hope you will be willing to contribute as we prepare to update uFiSh.

Finally, we are still in the process of updating the FAO INFOODS website: https://www.fao.org/infoods/infoods/en/. Thank you very much to those who kindly sent information on broken links, new FCTs, or contact names.
We are working to integrate all the updates we have received, together with information that will be collated from the INFOODS coordinators.

Best wishes to all,
Bridget
