Dear Yasmine, I have a copy of the documentation for Worldfood v 2 and will email it to you if you would find it useful. (I haven’t used the program—one of those things one downloads with the intention of looking at it “sometime” :-). Returning to your original question, if you have electronic copies of the databases you mention there may be existing software programs into which they be loaded—although I suspect you would have to do considerable work upfront to format the data appropriately, not to mention QA once uploaded.

See http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/food_composition/documents/WORLDFOOD_ DIETARY_ASSESSMENT_SYSTEM__2_.pdf It is a DOS-based software from 1996/1997 and therefore a bit outdated, but it still runs on my computer, though. I suggest that you still contact Dr. Suzanne Murphy for information on the software and if a newer version is available.
