Subject field(s)
  • Dietetics
  • Collaboration with the FAO
DEF

[A] hypothetical diet prepared by GEMS/Food [Global Environment Monitoring System-Food Contamination Monitoring and Assessment Programme] to represent a regional group of countries in which the quantitative intake of food commodities is similar based on data derived from FAO [Food and Agriculture Organization] food balance sheets.

CONT

Regional diets can also represent cultural groups and thus populations that share the same regional diet need not be in the same geographical region.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Diététique
  • Collaboration avec la FAO
DEF

Régime hypothétique, établi par GEMS/Food [Système mondial de surveillance de l'environnement - programme de surveillance et d'évaluation de la contamination des produits alimentaires], représentatif des habitudes alimentaires d'un groupe régional de pays où les quantités de produits alimentaires absorbées sont similaires, d'après les données tirées des bilans alimentaires de la FAO [Organisation pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture].

CONT

Les régimes régionaux peuvent aussi représenter des groupes culturels, de sorte que des populations qui partagent le même régime régional n'appartiennent pas nécessairement à la même région géographique.
