The FAOSTAT Analytical Brief presents data on global food supply trends from 2010 to 2021, covering dietary energy supply (DES) across regions and countries. The report highlights a 5% increase in global per capita dietary energy supply, with North America and Europe having the highest levels, while Africa lags behind. It notes that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, global food availability remained stable, although economic downturns exacerbated food insecurity. Cereals remain the primary source of calories worldwide, with wheat and rice being the most consumed. The report underscores the need for targeted policies to address regional food security disparities.
