List of countries by food energy intake
This article needs to be updated.(May 2021) |
Food consumption is the amount of food available for human consumption as estimated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Food Balance Sheets. However, the actual food consumption may be lower than the quantity shown as food availability depends on the magnitude of wastage and losses of food in the household, for example during storage, in preparation and cooking, as plate-waste or quantities fed to domestic animals and pets, thrown or given away.[2]
According to the FAO, the average minimum daily energy requirement is about 1,800 kilocalories (7,500 kJ) per person.[3]
