CREA has entrusted DEV4U with the web development of this tool, as part of the broader PLAN’EAT project. PLAN’EAT is a Horizon Europe research project, funded by the European Commission, which aims at transforming food systems and food environments towards healthy and sustainable dietary behaviour. The project started in September 2022 and will last for 4 years.

Description of data sources and data export tool

The large data set collected from EFSA and from other sources was organized as a searchable dataset usable by the PLAN’EAT consortium members to explore the food consumption data (planeatdietarypatterns.dev4u.eu). An online user-friendly data export tool was created with access limited to consortium members.

In the future and after refining, the data export tool can be made usable outside the consortium. The system permitted analysis of data by country, age, food items or food groups.

The output of the tool was a table in which it was possible to add or eliminate rows. Simple descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, percentiles) were provided. The data were exportable in .XLS format for further analysis. The whole database can be downloaded in .CSV format.
