摘要：This paper addresses the spatial differentiation of
food consumption patterns. The objective is to identify the
economic and natural determinants of consumption levels and
of differences in foodstuffs consumed around the world in the
2000s. The study was based on data delivered by FAOSTAT
and the World Bank. An analysis was performed of global correlation
trends between economic factors (GDP per capita),
natural and geographic factors (agricultural land per capita,
and the food availability status. Also, cluster analysis was used
to group the countries around the world by percentage share of
plant, animal and aquaculture products in the dietary energy
consumption (kcal/capita/day), and by agricultural land per
capita. Based on the analyses, the economic factor was found
to significantly prevail as a determinant of food security for
different nations. The size of the dietary energy consumption
and the share of animal products in it depend primarily on the
domestic product per capita. Also noticed was the relatively
low importance of natural conditions, expressed in this paper
as agricultural land per capita. Based on previous research, the
suitability of land for agricultural purposes was found to be
historically important for human settlement around the world,
though currently it is not the key determinant of food security.
Also, the importance of aquaculture in addressing the global
population’s food needs was found to be marginal though spatially
differentiated.
