How Much Food Per Person?

Calories of food available per person each day, from 1961 to 2023

A calorie is a unit of energy. The food supply is the food available in a country divided by its people, so it is not exactly what each person eats.
Grown-ups need roughly 2,000 to 2,500 kilocalories a day, so the countries at the top have much more food than that.
Food is not shared equally: other countries have much less, and making sure everyone has enough is one of the world's big challenges.
