Max: At the same time one has to remember to take into account the changes in supply and also in demand for food. This is because the needs are not the same for every person but depend on the stature of the people – while the stature itself is a function of the availability of food. Fogel (2004) explains that 'the typical American male in his early thirties is about 177 cm (69.7 inches) tall and weighs about 78 kg (172 pounds). Such a male requires daily about 1,794 calories for basal metabolism and a total of 2,279 calories for baseline maintenance. If either the British or the French had been that large during the eighteenth century, virtually all of the energy produced by their food supplies would have been required for maintenance, and hardly any would have been available to sustain work.'

Quote from the Source: The Table 'shows that the energy value of the typical diet in France at the start of the eighteenth century was as low as that of Rwanda in 1965, the most malnourished nation for that year in the tables of the World Bank'.

UND

An important implication of Table 1.2 needs to be made explicit. Today the typical American male in his early thirties is about 177 cm (69.7 inches) tall and weighs about 78 kg (172 pounds). Such a male requires daily about 1,794 calories for basal metabolism and a total of 2,279 calories for baseline maintenance.1919. Quenouille et al. 1951; FAO/WHO/UNU 1985.
If either the British or the French had been that large during the eighteenth century, virtually all of the energy produced by their food supplies would have been required for maintenance, and hardly any would have been available to sustain work.

apparent "periods of change' in DES trends for several regions. FAO data are based on food balance sheets, i.e. they depend on the reliability
of food production data which, for smallholder root crops and cereals in sub-Saharan Africa, are known to be weak. Small changes in short

Quote from Fogel in a different Book (Fogel - The Escape from Hunger and Premature Death, 1700-2100)

I alluded to the thermodynamic contribution to economic growth when I pointed out that individuals in the bottom 20 percent of the caloric distributions of France and England near the end of the eighteenth century lacked the energy for sustained work and were effectively excluded from the labor force. Moreover, even those who participated in the labor force had only relatively small amounts of energy for work.

Lomborg FAO Data on Calories per Person (World vs DCs vs ICs)
Basically, we now have far more food per person than we used to, even though the population has doubled since 1961. It can be seen from Figure 23 that our calorie intake has increased by 24 percent on a global basis, and that developing countries have experienced a dramatic increase of 38 percent.

The calorie figure is, nonetheless, an average. It is not unthinkable that the figure conceals the fact that some people live better lives while increasing numbers of others just manage or even starve. But here, as elsewhere, things are improving.

Measurement, Data Quality & Definitions
DEFINITION Dietary energy intake. - requirement - supply and energy supply adequacy – FAO (2013)
Dietary energy intake. The energy content of food consumed.
Dietary energy requirement (DER). The amount of dietary energy required by an individual to maintain body functions, health and normal activity.
Dietary energy supply (DES). Food available for human consumption, expressed in kilocalories per person per day (kcal/person/day). At
country level, it is calculated as the food remaining for human use after deduction of all non-food utilizations (i.e. food = production +
imports + stock withdrawals − exports − industrial use − animal feed – seed – wastage − additions to stock). Wastage includes losses of usable products occurring along distribution chains from farm gate (or port of import) up to the retail level.
Dietary energy supply adequacy. Dietary energy supply as a percentage of
the average dietary energy requirement.

FAO (2013) – The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2013
FAO DEFINITION for Maximum dietary energy requirement' In a specified age and sex group, the amount of dietary energy per person that is considered adequate to meet the energy needs for heavy activity and good health. In an entire population, the maximum energy requirement is the weighted average of the maximum energy requirements of the different age and sex groups in the population. This is expressed in kilocalories per person per day.
[ref]This is the definition given by the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in their glossary that is online here. http://faostat.fao.org/site/375/default.aspx [/ref]
DEFINITION Minimum dietary energy requirement (MDER) – FAO (2013)
Minimum dietary energy requirement (MDER). In a specified age/sex category, the minimum amount of dietary energy per person that is considered
adequate to meet the energy needs at a minimum acceptable BMI of an individual engaged in low physical activity. If referring to an entire
population, the minimum energy requirement is the weighted average of the minimum energy requirements of the different age/sex groups. It is expressed as kilocalories per person per day.

DATA Consumption measurement: If you are interested in calorie consumption, you need to convert the amounts of food consumption (collected from household surveys) to obtain the data. Annex 1 of the FAO (2001)'s Food Balance Sheets: A Handbook provides the conversion factors (how many kilo calories 100 grams of food contain) for a wide variety of foods for international use. For India consult Gopalan, Sastri, and Balasubramanian's book entitled Nutritive Value of Indian Foods (Hyderabad: National Institute of Nutrition, 1971)  [thanks to Masa at DEVECONDATA from which both of these links are lifted].

Source    FAO calculations


Data Type Representation     real number
Definition    For many countries, the coefficient of variation, taken as an indicator of the dispersion of the food consumption distribution within the general population, is derived from available household surveys that collect data on both food consumption/acquisition and income/expenditure. When appropriate data for directly estimating the variability of food consumption are not readily available, indirect procedures are used by FAO to estimate a suitable value for this parameter.

DATA   Mortality/Nutrition/Vaccination: The Complex Emergency Database (CE-DAT) is an international initiative that monitors and evaluates the health status of populations affected by complex emergencies. CE-DAT is managed by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), based at the School of Public Health of the Université catholique de Louvain in Brussels, Belgium. The data is at subnational level (building on over 2,000 surveys) and covers 1998-2010 (with gaps). It can be viewed in table format or as a map.
