6. Variations in food consumption patterns
between DCs and LDCs over time.
• Classified using 2 types of indicators
• Economic indicators
–Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita
–Employment opportunity
• Social indicators
–Adult literacy rate
–Life expectancy

7. GDP per capita
• Total value of all final goods and services
produced by the country in a year
divided by population.
• The larger the number, the more
developed the country is likely to be.
• Productive industries with well-
developed services lead to high GDP per
capita.

8. Employment opportunity
• Availability of jobs in a country
• More opportunity means more
chances for locals to have jobs.
• Higher employment rate means
more income and a better
standard of living.

9. Adult literacy rate
• % of people aged 15 and above who
can read and write.
• High literacy rate means workers are
more skilled. Earn more money.
• Higher literacy rate tends to mean
more developed.

10. Life expectancy
• Average number of years a person
born in a country is expected to live.
• Influenced by the healthcare, water,
sanitation, food supply and living
conditions.
• War, disease and poverty lowers life
expectancy.

11. Examples
• Developed Countries (DCs)
–Australia, Japan, South Korea, USA,
Singapore.
• Less Developed Countries (LDCs)
–Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia, Uganda.

12. Indicators of food consumption
1.Food consumption per
capita
2.Daily calorie intake
3.Starchy staples as a
percentage of all calories

13. Food Consumption per capita
• Average amount of food a person consumes
per year.
• Measured in Kilogrammes per capita per year.
• Individual groups like meat, vegetables,
cereals.
• DCs tend to take more in total
• DCs tend to take more meat and vegetables
• LDCs tend to take more cereals

14. Nepal

15. Germany

16. USA

17. Chad

18. Daily calorie intake
• Energy obtained from food consumed per
person each day.
• Measured in kilocalories
• Daily human requirement is about 2586
kilocalories.
• Generally since 1960s, the daily calorie intake
for DCs and LDCs have both increased.

19. Starchy staples
• Starchy foods hold carbohydrates
• Energy giving component
• Occupations that require high energy source
– Unskilled labour work.
• Primary Industries / Secondary Industries.
• Services / Tertiary Industries do not need large
percentage of carbohydrates.
• LDCs consume more cereals and grains.
