An indicator of healthy diets is proposed for the SDGs! The great thing is that it's possible now to measure easily, at low cost. This new paper describes how it has been done:

I really like this framework for holistically tracking food system performance. Food systems must:
• Provide healthy, affordable diets
• Protect the environment
• Sustain livelihoods equitably
• Be resilient to shocks
• Have effective governance

Food systems are essential for human life. But they can also cause problems. Our new report shows where countries are doing well and where they can improve. All countries have unique successes and challenges.

What makes up a healthy diet? Is a diversity of food groups enough?

Different dietary data collection tools have different purposes. For prevalence of consumption of specific food groups or indicators for diet quality monitoring, the recently developed Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ) by @AnnaWHerforth and team works well.

New results! The Diet Quality Questionnaire #DQQ , a 5-min survey module, was validated against a 24-hour recall standard method. High similarity in food group consumption and diet quality indicators from the 2 methods. doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2022…

Three years ago, @juliusadewopo came to me with an idea: can we crowdsource diet quality data? Using the #DQQ, we've been able to do. Honoured to have our work in this game changing report (globaldietquality.org/report…) by @AnnaWHerforth, @TyRBeal, and Gina Kennedy. @IITA_CGIAR
