From food insufficiency towards trade dependency: A historical analysis of global food availability

Achieving global food security is one of the major challenges of the coming decades. In order to tackle future food security challenges we must understand the past. This study presents a historical analysis of global food availability, one of the key elements of food security.

We also look at how diets have changed during this period with regard to supply of animal based calories.
