supply
(Food supply (kcal/capita/day) in 2007: Australia 3227, Botswana 2264,
Brazil 3113, Ethiopia 1980, India 2352, Indonesia 2538, Japan 2812, Niger
2376, Russia 3376, S Africa 2999, UK 3458, US 3748 [US recommends 2,000 kcal
/capita/day for sedentary workers])
* "Box 7: A tale of two BRICS
They may both be members of the BRICS group of emerging economies, yet on
the question of hunger, Brazil and India are poles apart. Despite more than
doubling the size of its economy between 1990 and 2005, India failed to make
even a tiny dent in the number of hungry people. In fact, it increased by
65 million – more than the population of France. Today, about one in four
of the world’s hungry people lives in India.
In Brazil, however, where economic growth has been slower, hunger has been
rolled back at an incredible pace – the proportion of people living in
hunger almost halved between 1992 and 2007.
