A global scale study by the University of Reading and commissioned by the International Federation of Agricultural Producers investigates the potential impact of WHO/FAO nutritional recommendations for fat, protein and sugar intake on the consumption, production and trade of a selection of food products.
The products examined were meats, dairy products and eggs, vegetable oils, animal fats and cereals. In essence the report looks at what would happen to the production and trade of these goods were the countries studied to consume at levels that accorded with WHO/FAO nutritional guidelines. The 35 countries studies were those whose per capita intakes of fat contribute more than 30% to daily calorie intake.
A brief FCRN summary of its findings can be found attached below.
