The volume of global food consumption has been ever-increasing since 2015. In 2021, the global consumption of food reached *** billion metric tones. Bread and cereal products were the largest category of consumption, accounting for *** million metric tons in that year.

This dataset analyzes expenditures on major consumption categories including food and different food subcategories across 114 countries. The dataset is created from USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)-Economic Research Service calculations using 2005 International Comparison Program (ICP) data.

The food market worldwide in 2024 was led by bread & cereal products, which had the highest average volume per capita at approximately ***** kilograms. Ranked second, vegetables recorded around ***** kilograms, followed by dairy products & eggs with about ***** kilograms.

This dataset is the basis for the International Food Security Assessment, 2016-2026 released in June 2016. This annual ERS report projects food availability and access for 76 low- and middle-income countries over a 10-year period. The dataset includes annual country-level data on area, yield, production, nonfood use, trade, and consumption for grains and root and tuber crops (combined as R&T in the documentation tables), food aid, total value of imports and exports, gross domestic product, and population compiled from a variety of sources.

This statistic shows the required increase from 2013 levels in agricultural production in order for projected demand in 2050 to be met. In order to meet the global food demand in 2050, agricultural production has to increase by **** percent worldwide.

Total and marginal budget shares and income and price elasticities are estimated, using 2005 ICP data, for nine broad consumption groups and eight food subgroups across 144 countries.This record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the https://data.gov catalog.

The average per capita food consumption in the Gulf Cooperation Council in 2027 is expected to be about *** kilograms. This is a roughly 32-kilogram increase per person from 2022. Overall, food consumption per capital in the GCC is expected to rise steadily each year during this period. GCC food consumption  Historically, the per capita volume of food consumed among GCC member countries (******) has varied. Saudi Arabia, having the largest population in the GCC, makes up the greatest share of total food consumption in the council. Still, it was on the lower end of per capita consumption. Food consumption growth projections in the region differ noticeably from country to country. With growing populations and developing, and diversifying economies, food consumption is only expected to rise in the coming years. GCC food market The GCC food market revenue is worth billions each year. Although local food production is growing, most GCC member states rely on food imports to fulfill consumer demand. The distribution of food imports covers every category of food products. Additionally, multinational food conglomerates and a wide variety of Western restaurant chains have increased their footprint in the GCC. Nestled between Europe, Asia, and Africa, the GCC is well-connected and has prime access to most of the world’s fresh food supply. Nevertheless, there is also a push to be more self-sufficient. Countries like Oman, which has a strong agricultural and fishing industry, and Saudi Arabia, which has been scaling its indigenous agriculture industry, have done well in this regard. Further initiatives, such as the United Arab Emirates' cooperation with research centers in the Netherlands, are also producing promising results in innovative farming.

The per capita caloric intake of cereals decreased from **** percent in 1961 to **** percent in 2011. On the other hand, individuals tended to consume more fish and eggs, which reported each a share of *** percent of caloric intake in 1961. Forty years later, they made up *** percent of the per capita calories consumption.

This repository contains all data and R scripts to reproduce the figures in Van Dijk et al. (2021), Systematic review and meta-analysis of global food security projections to 2050 (forthcoming in Nature Food). More specifically, it includes two databases: (1) A database with standardized information to describe the characteristics of 57 studies that were identified by the systematic literature review and (2) The Global Food Security Projections Database v1.0.0 with harmonized projections for three global food security indicators: food consumption in kcal per capita and total kcal, and population at risk of hunger. The database also includes projections for total global population that are required to derive the global food security indicators.

The two scripts (nf_figures.r and nf_meta_regression.r) can be used to reproduce the figures and tables in the main paper and the supplementary information. Please start with the first script, which sources the second script.

This is the first version of the Global Food Projections Database. We expect to update the data, including additional studies and variables in the future. For issues and suggestions, please contact michiel.vandijk@wur.nl.

Gender and Food Systems

Gender equality is a precondition for achieving the world’s shared ambitions of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, including delivering sustainable food systems. From production to marketing and consumption, gender, power and privilege are woven throughout the fabric of food systems. As a result, gender inequalities are both a cause and an outcome of inequitable food systems that contribute to unjust food access, production, and consumption.

Food system organizations can be leaders in creating a just and sustainable food system. One in which women’s roles move from being invisible to visible, where their voices are heard, and their leadership amplified. One where food system roles, responsibilities, opportunities, and choices are not predetermined by restrictive gender roles, and social and cultural norms and power imbalances are not entry barriers for many people.

The 2021 Global Food 50/50 Report

The primary aim of the 2021 Global Food 50/50 Report is to catalyze faster progress towards this vision by enabling enhanced accountability driven by rigorous evidence. A second aim is to increase recognition of the role that gender plays in the food system for everybody — men and women, including transgender people, and people with nonbinary gender identities.

This Report presents measures of how well an initial sample of global food system organizations are acknowledging and addressing gender as a determinant of opportunity, access, and participation in the global food system. It shows that organizational commitment to gender equality is high. Over half of the organizations are transparent about their policies for shaping diverse, inclusive, and equitable working environments.

Policy makers, analysts, and civil society face increasing challenges to reducing hunger and sustainably improving food security. Modeling alternative future scenarios and assessing their outcomes can help inform policy choices. The International Food Policy Research Institute’s IMPACT model is an integrated system of linked economic, climate, water, and crop models that allows for the exploration of such scenarios. The IMPACT model was used to evaluate impacts of climate change on aggregate food production, food consumption (kcal per person per day), net trade of major food commodity groups, and the population at risk of hunger. At IMPACT’s core is a partial equilibrium, multimarket economic model that simulates national and international agricultural markets. Links to climate, water, and crop models support the integrated study of changing environmental, biophysical, and socioeconomic trends, allowing for in-depth analysis of a variety of critical issues of interest to policymakers at national, regional, and global levels. IMPACT benefits from close interactions with scientists across CGIAR and other leading global economic modeling efforts around the world through the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP). This dataset summarizes results from the latest IMPACT projections to 2030 and 2050, for a scenario that includes the impacts of climate change and a “baseline” scenario that assumes no climate change (for comparison). These results update previous projections by showing aggregations to six regions: Central and West Asia and North Africa; Eastern and Southern Africa; Latin America and the Caribbean; South Asia; Southeast Asia; West and Central Africa; and the rest of the world.
