Abstract

Summary This study examines the role of protein in the human diet. The first section deals with historical price trends and shifts in the pattern of protein consumption in highly industrialized countries. Section two contains an analysis of protein consumption, according to nine different food groups, of 130 countries throughout the world. Using the method of canonical decomposition and factorization developed by K. R. Gabriel (1971, 1972) the interactions and relationships between different protein sources are examined for the world as a whole and for each of the four world regions. In section three protein strategy in terms of nitrogen is discussed. Energy requirements for the year 2000 are estimated.
