vs. EAT-Lancet Reference Diet

How Kazakhstan's food supply compares to the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet — the scientifically-derived dietary pattern for human and planetary health.

⚠️ Approximate comparison. FAO food supply data measures availability (not intake) and uses different food group definitions than the EAT-Lancet framework. Bars show directional patterns, not precise gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories per day does Kazakhstan produce?

Kazakhstan's food supply provides approximately 3,136 kcal per person per day as of 2023, according to FAO Food Balance Sheets. This measures food availability, not actual individual consumption — household-level waste typically reduces actual intake by 20–30%.

How has Kazakhstan's diet changed over time?

Between 1992 and 2023, Kazakhstan's total calorie supply changed from 2,945 to 3,136 kcal/capita/day (an increase of 6%). Protein supply went from 92.0g to 106.7g per day. Fat supply changed from 79.7g to 117.0g per day.

Where does Kazakhstan rank globally?

Kazakhstan ranks #67 out of 200 countries by calorie supply per capita. The world average is approximately 3,016 kcal/capita/day.

How does Kazakhstan's diet differ from the world average?

The butterfly chart above shows the difference in food supply composition between Kazakhstan and the global average. Bars extending to the right indicate food groups where Kazakhstan consumes more than the world average, while bars extending left show deficits. These differences reflect agricultural production, cultural food traditions, income levels, and trade patterns.

What are dietary risk factors?

Dietary risk factors are eating patterns linked to chronic disease and premature death, as modeled by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The five major dietary risks are: high sodium intake, low fruit intake, low vegetable intake, low whole grain intake, and low nut and seed intake. These are population-level statistical estimates — not direct counts of individual deaths.
