Food aid refers to the forms of assistance given directly in form of food. Food aid remains the
dominant form of response to nutrition-related problems in emergencies. For standardization of
ration, the United Nations has introduced standards for emergency food rations. An adequate
basic ration should provide an intake of up to 2100 kilocalories of energy per person per day and
include a range of foods that are acceptable and broadly familiar to the population and fit for
human consumption.
