Food based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) can be used as a resource for policymakers, businesses and consumers to help promote better nutrition. In this webinar hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), speakers will provide an overview of food-based dietary guidelines, focusing on the following questions:

• What are national FBDGs?
• How have they been traditionally used? 
• What is their potential use?

The webinar will also highlight some examples of national FBDGs across the world, and present FAO’s current work in this field. To register, click here.

This is the first of a series of 6 webinars on FBDGs that are organized by the Nutrition Education and Consumer Awareness Team of FAO. See more here: www.fao.org/nutrition/education/food-dietary-guidelines/en/.
