Highlights

  • High commodity resolution allows a more nuanced understanding of nutrition security.

  • Total production is adequate to meet global human requirements for many essential nutrients.

  • A large number of countries do not produce sufficient energy and nutrients for their populations.

  • Cereals, roots and tubers, vegetables, milk and fish have driven nutrient production growth.

  • Food policies should adopt a nutrition-sensitive food systems approach.
