The world produces more than '''double''' the amount of food crops needed to feed everyone. But after all the waste, losses, and animal agriculture, there isn't enough food left to go around; people still go hungry.

If the diagram was done for rich countries such as the USA, the 'food waste' and 'animal feed' sections would be proportionally ''a lot'' bigger.

===Limitations===
This diagram doesn't currently include fish.
Here's one way that fish could maybe be included in future versions of this diagram:
* The top part would be renamed from 'crops harvested' to 'production primary', and would include ''wild-caught'' fish.
* The 'animal feed' would include any human-edible calories fed to ''farmed'' fish.
* The 'animal products' produced would include the ''farmed'' fish.
To put things in perspective, seafood contributes about 12g protein/day/capita to the global food supply. [http://olam.wiki/calc/calc2.php?a=%28seafood.production.farmed%20%2B%20seafood.production.wild%29%20%2A%20fish.protein&b=%28grams%2Fday%20per%20capita%29%28world.population%29#]
