Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding land-use change and forestry (ktCO₂eq)

DriversEnvironment and climate change

Source
 FAOSTAT
Definition
To the extent possible, this indicator includes emissions from all greenhouse gases and major emission sources for each country. Data sources cover CO2 emissions from energy, cement manufacture, and land-use changes as well as from non-CO2 gases. For a given country, as many as five greenhouse gas data sources may be used (including sector-level data).
Relevance
Greenhouse gas emissions are the main contributor of climate change, and are thus an important indicator of a food system's contribution to climate change. In addition, greenhouse gases from transforming land (clearing, burning, or otherwise removing existing vegetation) for agricultural use are a large source of food system greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change is associated with increased land surface temperature, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other changes to the environment. These changes may impact the quality, quantity, and safety of our food supply.

Agricultural land expansion or contraction rate during the last ten years.

This indicates agricultural land dynamics, which can affect food supply and environmental quality.

Adolescents: Prevalence of less than daily vegetable consumption

OutcomesDietary intake

2014
Source
 Beal et al. 2019
Definition
Proportion of adolescents (12-17 years) who reported consuming vegetables less than 1 time per day over the last 30 days. Data were collected from Global School-based Student Health Surveys.
Relevance
Adolescence is a formative time period of increasing independence where personal dietary habits and preferences are formed that may persist into adulthood. The WHO recommends daily consumption of 400 grams fruits and vegetables (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/healthy-diet).

Adult obesity (%)

Source
 WHO
Definition
Proportion of adults aged 18 and older with BMI > 30 kg/m². Estimates are age-standardized.
Relevance
Adults who are obese are at increased risk of diet related noncommunicable diseases and premature mortality (The Global BMI Mortality Collaboration 2016).

Underweight in Women (%)

OutcomesNutritional status
Loading…
Source
 WHO
Definition
Proportion of women aged 18 and older with BMI <18.5 kg/m². Estimates are age-standardized.
Relevance
Women who are underweight may not be receiving the adequate amount of energy and macronutrients, placing them at greater risk for micronutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, infection, and mortality. Women of reproductive age who are underweight may be at greater risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes if they become pregnant.

Adult diabetes prevalence (%)

OutcomesNoncommunicable diseases
Loading…
Source
 NCD-RisC
Definition
Proportion of adults aged 18 and older with diabetes. Diabetes is defined as having a fasting glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, being on medication for raised blood glucose, or having a past diagnosis of diabetes. Estimates are age-standardized.
Relevance
High consumption of sugary foods and beverages and processed flours and starches above the recommended amounts and proportions contributes to the development of Type II diabetes.

All Suggested Policies and Actions

We’ve identified the following policies and actions that might address issues with the food system of Tokelau.

Action
Reformulate processed food to reduce fats, sugars and salt.
Impact
Reduce availability of fats, sugars and salt in foods already available to all populations.
Action
Implement taxes to decrease affordability and incentivise reformulation of sugary drinks and foods high in fats, sugars and salt food.
Impact
Decrease affordability of sugary drinks and foods high in fats, sugars and salt to all populations.
Action
Set mandatory limits on trans fats, sugar, salt/sodium and/or saturated fat in packaged foods.
Impact
Reduce availability of foods high in fats, sugars and salt to all populations.
Action
Require nutrition labelling on packages/menus to indicate if foods are high in calories, fats, sugars and/or salt and/or in positive nutrients.
Impact
Reduce appeal and availability of foods high in fat, sugar and salt and increases appeal of nutritious foods to all populations.
Action
Restrict all forms of marketing, advertising and in-store promotions of HFSS foods, particularly to children.
Impact
Reduce appeal foods high in fat, sugar and salt to children.
