Table 2 Changes in food calorie availability (%) in Year 2 after a nuclear war for the nations with nuclear weapons and global average assuming no trade after simulated nuclear wars under the Livestock case, the Partial Livestock case and the No Livestock case with 50% livestock feed to human consumption

From: Global food insecurity and famine from reduced crop, marine fishery and livestock production due to climate disruption from nuclear war soot injection

  1. The total calorie reduction is referenced to the observed food calorie availability in 2010. China here includes Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao. 150 Tg + hw is half of the household waste added to food consumption, and 150 Tg + tw is total household waste added to food consumption. Bold is used for headings and global averages.
