The Aotearoa Food Parcel Measure (AFPM) is a calculating tool to quantify the volume of kai assistance being given in our communities, distributed through food parcels compiled against the measure. It offers a consistent way for foodbanks and community food distributors to standardise compiling with balanced good foods, therefore counting food parcels by nutritionally adequate volume content. A food parcel should account for 4 people, 3 meals a day, for 4 days, and be compiled at 80% of the nutritional guide.
