Investments – Agriculture

Agriculture is the source of human food and clothing, the basis of survival, and the primary condition for all production. The challenges of eradicating hunger will vary among countries. According to the OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2021-2030, average global food availability per person is projected to grow by 4% over the next ten years, reaching just over 3 025 kcal/day in 2030. However, this global average masks differences among regions. Consumers in middle-income countries are projected to increase their food intake most significantly, while diets in low income countries will remain largely unchanged. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where 224.3 million people were undernourished in 2017-19, daily per capita calorie availability is projected to increase by only 2.5% over the next decade to 2500 kcal in 2030. Some dietary changes are anticipated in the coming decade. In high-income countries, per capita consumption of animal protein is expected to level off. Due to growing health and environmental concerns, per capita meat consumption is not expected to increase and consumers will increasingly replace red meat by poultry and dairy products. In middle-income countries, the preference for livestock products and fish is expected to remain strong and per capita availability of animal protein is projected to increase by 11%, narrowing the consumption gap with high-income countries by 4% to 30 g/person/day in 2030. The composition of diets also influences global health outcomes. At the global level fats and staples are expected to account for about 60% of additional calories over the next decade and provide 63% of available calories by 2030, ……
