Dear all,
I wish you and your families and friends a peaceful holiday season, a merry Christmas and a happy year 2018 with a lot of personal and professional satisfaction and well-being.
Another year has passed and we as INFOOODS family have achieved a lot together. Food composition is more valued worldwide compared to previous years and I hope that more governments will follow the example of India and invest in the analysis
and compilation of food composition data and their dissemination in electronical food composition tables and databases. I hope also other donors will invest in the analysis of foods and the development of more (updated) food composition tables and databases.
This is truly needed in order to well target programmes and policies in nutrition and agriculture in the most efficient way (cost and human resource wise).
I would like to thank you all for your support, for assisting in spreading the knowledge about food composition and its importance, for publishing new food composition tables and databases and guidelines and for any other manner in which
you brought food composition forward in your country, region or internationally.
I attach the Argentina INFOODS Declaration – it could not be published yet on the INFOODS website for technical problems. This declaration might help you to convince donors to support your work.
Best wishes to all
Ruth
