Abstract:
This paper aims to investigate the state of food security worldwide, trying to answer the questions: What are the changes of food demand and supply on the world market? What are the gaps in food availability between different regions of the world? Which are the future trends of food demand and supply? In pursuing these questions, statistical data from FAO data base have been gathered and analyzed. Forecasts of food consumption and production are made using graphical method. The results show that in regions where food consumption is low, Africa, Asia, it does not provide the nutrients necessary to maintain harmonious development and health. In contrast, there are countries in North America, Europe and Oceania, where consumption is sufficiently varied and nutritionally balanced.
