• FOOD RESOURES IN WORLD
It may be easy for us to guess the sources of some of the ingredients like fruits and vegetables,
for instance. Where do they come from? Plants, of course! What are the sources of rice or wheat?
You may have seen paddy or wheat fields with rows and rows of plants, which give us these
grains. And then, there are food items like milk, eggs, meat, chicken, fish, prawns, beef, pork and
such others, which come from animals

Plants are the sources of food ingredients like grains, cereals, vegetables and fruits. Animals
provide us with milk, meat products and eggs. Cows, goats and buffaloes are some common
animals which give us milk. Milk and milk products like butter, cream, cheese and curd are used
all over the world

 FOOD RESOURES AND SUPPLY IN PAKISTAN

Pakistan is an agricultural country. The most important crops are wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and
rice, which together account for more than 75% of the value of total crop output. Pakistan's
largest food crop is wheat. Agriculture is considered the backbone of Pakistan's economy, which
relies heavily on its major crops. Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water.
Agriculture accounts for about 18.9%  of Pakistan's GDP and employs about 42.3% of the labour
force. In Pakistan, the most agricultural province is Punjab where wheat and cotton are the most
grown. Mango orchards are mostly found in Sindh and Punjab provinces that make Pakistan the
world's 4th largest producer of mangoes. Pulses are smart crops both for humans and the
cropping system as they provide protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber for human diet and
nitrogen to the soil and contribute to the maintenance of biodiversity. Pulses, also called grain
legumes, contribute about 33% of the global dietary protein requirement of the human
population. In Pakistan, the production of pulses is far less than the requirement and the balance
is met through imports.
