Summary
This book chapter, part of the FAO-commissioned volume 'World Agriculture: Towards 2015/2030', provides a forward-looking analysis of global food and nutrition prospects based on FAO modelling and data. It likely assesses projected food supply adequacy, nutritional gaps, and the distribution of food access across developing and developed regions. The work represents an authoritative institutional perspective on long-term food security rather than an empirical research study.
UK applicability
As a globally oriented FAO projection report, its direct applicability to UK conditions is limited; however, it provides relevant context for UK trade, food security policy, and international development commitments.
Key measures
Dietary energy supply (kcal/capita/day); prevalence of undernourishment; food demand projections; macronutrient availability by region
Outcomes reported
The chapter examines projected trends in global food availability, dietary patterns, and nutritional adequacy to 2015 and 2030, assessing whether future agricultural production can meet human nutrition needs across regions.
