This document discusses food production and consumption inequalities in 2008. While the world produces enough grain like wheat and rice to provide everyone with 3000 calories per day, there are still inequalities in food production and calorie intake globally. It raises questions about what factors have enabled increased global food production per capita, where these increases have been concentrated, and why some areas have seen declining food production simultaneously.
