About this data
Indicators on the cost and affordability of a healthy diet (CoAHD) are estimated in each country and show the population’s physical and economic access to least expensive locally available foods to meet requirements for a healthy diet, as defined in food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs). The indicators use observed retail food consumer prices and income distributions to provide an operational measure of people’s access to locally available foods in the proportions needed for health. These indicators support efforts within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture by 2030 (SDG 2). They also support the monitoring of progress towards the objective of transforming agrifood systems by promoting “nutrition-sensitive agriculture”. FAO, in partnership with the Food Price for Nutrition of the World Bank, produces and reports the CoAHD indicators.
