March 19 , 2025 18 hrs 0 min 14 0
  • A new indicator on Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) has been adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission.
  • This indicator would help track progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 2 on zero hunger—one of the 17 goals under the 2030 Agenda.
  • The MDD represents the variety of foods that we consume and is important as the quality of our diet is essential for health, growth, development, and well-being.
  • MDD is a yes/no indicator of whether women and children have consumed at least five out of 10 defined food groups in the previous 24 hours.
