 The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) published tables for international use and initially intended these for the assessment of food availability at the global level.A list of International FCDBs can be found on the National Food Institute - Technical University of Denmark's (DTU) website.The documentation of FCD is an important process of compiling FCDBs because it enables the user to assess the quality of the data and whether the food and values are appropriate for the user’s intended purpose.
