Just launched our new Global Food Data Explorer on @OurWorldInData
Provides a quick way to explore food systems
➔ field to plate
➔ all crops & livestock
➔ all countries
➔ since 1961
to @lucasrodesg & @MarcelGerber9 for amazing work on this

Here I provide a quick demo on how to navigate: ➔ switch from map to chart view ➔ search by food product ➔ change metric (production, yield, land use etc.) ➔ switch from total to per capita ➔ compare any combination of countries https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/global-food …pic.twitter.com/4X3uBCzsTw
This is really amazing--thank you! Is there a convenient way to get a rough idea of which countries are producing enough food (say calories) to feed their own people? All I can think of is to download the production data for major grains/starches and add it up.
Yes, great suggestion! That's already in the pipeline for next year. Our plan was to convert all of the metrics (e.g. production, yield etc.) into nutritional units (calories, protein, micronutrients). Both as a total and per capita.
this is amazing thanks @_HannahRitchie
Great work!! Note that the two food balance sheets: FBS (2014-) and FBSH (-2013) had different methods. And FAO item mappings across different datasets could be different.
Yes, thank you :-)
Wow. Thank you!
