Food Systems Dashboard: A Decision-making Tool for Better Food Governance Decisions, The Johns Hopkins University, The Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and other partners recently launched an online Food Systems Dashboard designed to help decision-makers and other users around the world understand their food systems, identify their levers of change, and decide which ones to pull in order to sustainably improve diets and nutrition in their food systems. Food systems encompass an entire range of actors – including, but not limited to, farmers, traders, processors, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, and consumers – and the processes that get food from the fields to markets to tables. Well-functioning food systems can ensure the availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutritious foods for healthy diets.  The Food Systems Dashboard combines data for more than 170 food systems indicators from over 35 from public and private data sources for more than 230 countries and territories that describe global, regional, and national food systems. The tool is designed to help decision-makers understand their food systems, identify their levers of change, and decide which ones to act upon. Click here to visit the dashboard.
