The Food Balance Sheets of the Food and Agriculture Organization: A Review of Potential Ways to Broaden the Appropriate Uses of the Data FAO suggests that the data may be used to:  observe a country’s food supply and its trends  compare food supply to nutritional requirements for healthy diets estimate supply/shortage measures evaluate food and nutrition policies  measure the degree of chronic undernutrition  examine changes in diet patterns  investigate relationships between food supplies, famine, and malnutrition  calculate self-sufficiency and import-dependency ratios  set goals for trade and production and project future supply and demand.
