Dear all,
Below please find the launching email of the FAO/WHO GIFT platform. All food consumption data are coded in FoodEx2. Those who have attended the FoodEx2 workshop in Buenos Aires in October 2017, know also how
to code foo composition data in FoodEx2. The coding of food composition and food consumption data in the same food description and classification system will enhance data linkage and harmonization, and will reduce errors and time needed for food matching.
If you know of someone having food consumption data, please feel free to forward this message so that in the future more food consumption data are freely and publicly available for more countries to inform decision
makers and develop appropriate policies and programmes in nutrition and other disciplines.
Best wishes from Santiago
Ruth
