| This set of global maps, compiled by FAO, is
intended to give a broad view of food and agriculture, with
special emphasis on food consumption aspects. The most important
agricultural global maps are presented in this latest collection.
The brief explanatory notes below provide additional information
on each map. In many cases, the map presentations combine the
variable labeled in the heading along with country shading where
undernourishment is estimated to be above 20 percent of the
population. Countries where data for one or both variables are
missing have not been considered. |

 |
Map 1 Undernourished
Population (1999-2001)
This
map presents the estimated percentage of undernourished
in the total population.
The levels of undernourished considered are: extreme and
very low (<5%), moderate low (5-19%), moderate high
(20-34%) and very high (>35%). These data are used
in "The State of Food Insecurity in the World
2003". |
|
Map 2 Change in Number
Undernourished (1990s)
| This
map combines data for developing countries with those
of transition countries. The map shows the annual relative
change in the number of undernourished for developing
countries for the period 1990-92 to 1999-2001, while for
transition countries the period is 1993-95 to 1999-2001.
Undernourished is defined as the proportion of the population
below the minimum level of dietary energy (calorie) consumption. |
|
Map 3 Food Consumption
(1999-2001)
| This
map presents the average annual level of food consumption
per person, expressed in terms of calories per day. |
|
Map 4 Growth in Food
Consumption (1995-2001)
| In
this map, the average annual growth rate of the daily
food consumption measured in calories is superimposed
on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Map 5 Consumption of
Cereals (1999-2001)
| This
map shows the percentage share of cereals in total food
consumption, expressed in calories, superimposed on countries
with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 6 Consumption of
Fruits and Vegetables (1999-2001)
| This
map presents the average annual consumption of fruits
and vegetables per person per day expressed in terms of
grams, superimposed on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 7 Consumption of
Sugars and Sweeteners (1999-2001)
| This
map presents the share in total calorie consumption of
sugars and sweeteners expressed in terms of calories,
superimposed on countries with 20% or more undernourishment.
Sugar from fruit juices is not included, while sugar crops
are included. |
|
Map 8 Consumption of
Meat (1999-2001)
| This
map shows the percentage of meat in total food consumption
expressed in protein, superimposed on countries with 20%
or more undernourishment. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Map 9 Consumption of
Milk (1999-2001)
| This
map shows the percentage of milk, excluding butter, in
total food supply in calorie terms, superimposed on countries
with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 10 Agricultural
GDP (2000)
| This
map shows the percentage of agricultural Gross Domestics
Product (GDP) in total national GDP, superimposed on countries
with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 11 Production Growth
(1990-2002)
| This
map presents the total growth since the base year of 1989-91,
for agricultural crops and livestock, based on FAO production
index number using international prices, superimposed
on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 12 Net Trade in
Food (2001)
This
map presents national food trade (exports minus imports)
divided by food consumption
expressed in calorie terms, superimposed on countries
with 20% or more undernourishment. Trade in live animals
is not included. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Map13 Food Aid, Cereals
(1999-2001)
| This
map indicates the total cereal food aid (excluding any
local purchases) expressed in kilograms of grain equivalent
per person per year, superimposed on countries with 20%
or more undernourishment. The source of these data is
the World Food Programme (WFP). |
|
Map 14 Agricultural
Imports (2001)
| This
map demonstrates the relative importance of the value
of agricultural imports in total merchandise imports,
superimposed on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map15 Agricultural Exports
(2001)
| This
map demonstrates the relative importance of the value
of agricultural exports in total merchandise exports,
superimposed on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 16 Irrigated Land
(2000)
| This
map shows the percentage of irrigated land in total arable
land, superimposed on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Map 17 Population Growth
(1995-2000)
| This
map presents the population annual growth rate, superimposed
on countries with 20% or more undernourishment. |
|
Map 18 Rural Population
(2001)
| This
map demonstrates the share of rural population in total
population, superimposed on countries with 20% or more
undernourishment. |

Undernourished
Undernourished is defined as the proportion of the population
below the minimum level of dietary energy (calorie) consumption
Consumption
The total quantity of foodstuffs produced in a country added
to the total quantity imported and the beginning stocks gives
the supply available. Exports, feed, seed and non-food use
plus waste and losses and ending stocks gives the non-food
utilization. The difference between supply and non-food utilization
is consumption. These consumption amounts are measured at
the household door and do not consider in household waste,
table waste or subsequent non-food use.

United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory,
