![](https://assets.fsnforum.fao.org/public/styles/full/public/news/CFS_FFA.jpeg?itok=oLqttWGa)
The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched a survey to collect experiences and good practices in the use and application of the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises (CFS-FFA).
This survey complements an earlier call for inputs issued in March 2019 and will contribute to monitoring progress on the use and application of the CFS-FFA, both from a qualitative and quantitative perspective.
The survey is available in English, French and Spanish and you are welcome to provide your answers in any of the six UN languages. Deadline is the 30 April 2020.

Transforming the world through food and agriculture - FAO and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
Efforts to eradicate hunger are flatlining. Even where food is not scarce, malnutrition in the form of poor, undiversified diets is generating an obesity crisis with severe public health consequences. Buffered by extreme climate variability and protracted conflict, the planet is reeling from...
Webinar: Diet modelling in the development of food-based dietary guidelines
![](https://assets.fsnforum.fao.org/public/styles/full/public/news/icon-webinar_2.png?itok=zGCvSEMh)
Most food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) are accompanied by a graphic which expresses recommendations in a visual format, such as a plate or pyramid, in order to facilitate understanding by the general population. However, details on how the proportionalities of food groups depicted are arrived at are often not published, and there does not appear to be one clear way of doing this. Several (mainly high income) countries use formal diet? modelling approaches to develop food patterns or food guides intended to provide consumers with information on how to select the types and amounts of food to be consumed from specified food groups in order to meet the FBDGs recommendations. Such guides are meant to promote a desirable pattern of eating rather than prescribe a dietary pattern. Linear programming is one method used to develop food patterns that are consistent with nutrient recommendations, current eating habits, and if data are available, environmental considerations. Is diet modelling of relevance for low and middle-income countries (LMIC), which often lack data and resources, in their FBDGs development process?
In this webinar, we will explore the potential of diet modelling for LMIC, focusing on the following questions:
- What is diet modelling/diet optimization? What are its applications?
- How does diet modelling fit in with the FAO process for developing FBDGs? (Introduction to the FAO diet modelling package for FBDGs)
- What has been a country experience with diet modelling for FBDGs using the FAO package?
The webinar will introduce the FAO diet modelling package for FBDGs, and highlight the experience of using the package in Zambia.
Presenters:
Dr Rozenn Gazan, PhD, MS-Nutrition
Dr Ramani Wijesinha-Bettoni, Nutrition Officer, FAO
Dr Chiza Kumwenda, Nutrition Expert, FAO Zambia

Dimensions for the future of food systems
Food systems include the governance and economics of food, its sustainability, and the processes associated with the production, distribution, and consumption of it. Their political, social, and environmental dimensions impact our natural resources, human health, and most dimensions of life on Earth...
