The Aotearoa Food Parcel Measure (AFPM) is a calculating tool to quantify the volume of food support that is being distributed primarily through food parcels within our communities. This distribution is calculated against the AFPM. It offers a consistent way for foodbanks and community food distributors to standardise their data, including by nutritionally adequate volume content. A food parcel should account for 4 people, 3 meals a day, for 4 days, and be compiled at between 50-80% of the NZnutritional guide.
