FEP-ACT3: INFORMAS 2.0 PROJECT

This project aims to harmonize indicators for measuring progress on creating healthy and sustainable food systems, adapting the INFORMAS (International Network for Food and Obesity/NCDs Research Monitoring and Action Support) indicators.

It incorporates sustainability indicators of food and nutrition policy implementation for both public and private sector actors and for measuring food environments, and municipal/city in addition to national governments.

The long-term vision is to establish a participatory, upstream, independent, monitoring and accountability platform and network at the global and regional levels to measure and catalyze policy progress on transforming food systems for health and sustainability.
