Better food systems need better data, and a fuller picture of what we are measuring and what we still overlook. In this Foodomics & Society lesson, Barbara Burlingame, PhD, Nutrition Scientist, Professor at Massey University, and former Chief of Nutrition at the FAO, explores what it means for research, practice, and policy to be data-driven and evidence-based. Barbara highlights the need for data on food and nutrient composition, the vast biodiversity of foods consumed around the world, what influences that composition, what people are eating, and the many beneficial non-nutrients and harmful components that have not yet been widely analyzed. For learners and educators, the lesson offers a practical way to think about how data gaps shape food-based dietary guidelines and how better evidence can help characterize food systems and ecosystems. 📺 Watch the Food EDU lesson from Foodomics & Society, Module 3: Data-Driven Solutions for Human and Planetary Health: https://lnkd.in/ggPU_KX3 #FoodSystems #DataDriven #NutritionSecurity
