Map showing self-sufficiency in food of different countries

Caption

Only one country – Guyana (shown in khaki green on the map) – is self-sufficient in all seven food groups. The majority of countries (three out of five) do not produce sufficient food domestically in at least four out of seven food groups essential for a healthy, sustainable diet. This means they are vulnerable to breaks in supply caused by war, natural disasters or trade disagreements, for instance.
