Australia is 22nd on Global food security Index...

... just above the UAE and China.

I bet this would surprise most Australians.

Australia scores lower on availability (ranked 48th) and sustainability (ranked 33rd) compared to its total ranking:

Quote:
Availability: Measures agricultural production and on-farm capabilities, the risk of supply disruption, national capacity to disseminate food and research efforts to expand agricultural output.


Quote:
Sustainability and adaptation: Assesses a country's exposure to the impacts of climate change; its susceptibility to natural resource risks; and how the country is adapting to these risks.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Not surprising for any Australian to know this. Australia produces enough food to feed 60 million people worldwide (on average). The United States can produce enough food to feed 1 billion people worldwide.

Australia, despite its capacity to export food, still needs to import some food from overseas. I have noticed that Australia is reliant on overseas seafood, because of the mess that the seafood industry in Australia is in. The United States practically has every area of their agricultural industries covered.
