Global Food Trends
once farming is established, food choices are largely dictated by income
- on a lower income= diet based on staples (rice, wheat, tuber, maize)
- Wealthier= more calories, fewer carb, more meat & diary, more fat
- on a lower income= diet based on staples (rice, wheat, tuber, maize)
Engels Law
- As people become richer, they spend a decreasing proportion of their income on food
Developing Countries
- as countries develop economically, their food demands change= more diverse diet
- Stage 1
- increased consumption of energy
- extra calories come from food of vegetable origins; staples
- Stage 2
- range of food eaten is extended
- more meat, diary, fruits, veg & meat. Less carbs
- no major change in overall energy input
- influenced by culture, religion of the developing countries
- Developing countries- 30-90% spent on food
- influenced by culture, religion of the developing countries
- no major change in overall energy input
- more meat, diary, fruits, veg & meat. Less carbs
- range of food eaten is extended
- increased consumption of energy
- Stage 1
- as countries develop economically, their food demands change= more diverse diet
How are global food demands changing?
- developing countries SSA 70% energy intake from cereals
- Developed countries: 30% energy intake from cereals
- predicted that share of cereals in global calories intake will fall
- Developed countries: 30% energy intake from cereals
- developing countries SSA 70% energy intake from cereals
Impact of increasing food price
- become used to cheap available food since 1970s
- major price increases in late 2000 had global impact
- calories maintained by reverting to 'stage 1'
- Kenya- reduced meals to 1/2 per day, stopped having veg or meat
- calories maintained by reverting to 'stage 1'
- major price increases in late 2000 had global impact
- become used to cheap available food since 1970s
Impact of shift in global dietary patterns
- rise in global obesity , type 2 diabetes
- increase in CVD incidences
- environmental impact of increased demands for meat and diary products
- increase in CVD incidences
- rise in global obesity , type 2 diabetes
Summary
- increase income= increase calorie intake
- income rise further, dietary patterns shift to a more 'westernised' pattern incorporating more fruit, meat, wheat and diary
- as the global population rises, and there is an increase requirement for food, these changes in intake patterns will give rise to further challenges in meeting production levels
- changing dietary patterns are having a significant impact or health, and the environment
