How much of the world’s food is grown for people? - Makewealthhistory.org
Today I’ve been working on a paper for WWF and the Green Economy Coalition, and I wanted to include the figures on how much of the world’s food is eaten directly by people, and how much goes elsewhere. I was reminded of a map that I saw in the National Geographic, and I have dug it out to show you.
This is a map of the world’s agricultural regions, coloured according to how much of the calories produced go to people and how much goes to feeding animals or producing biofuels.
