Three years ago, Julius 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/reports) by Anna Herforth, @TyRBeal, and Gina Kennedy. IITA

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 Anna Herforth and team works well. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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. Article: nature.com/articles/s4301… Policy report: fao.org/documents/card…

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: doi.org/10.1016/j.cdnu…
