This has led to a high level of consumption and waste.

At current consumption levels, more than six months of supply remains.

These consumption levels are on an individual basis, not household.

Judging by the consumption levels, it could indeed be life giving.

This might mean consumers would be satisfied with a lower level of total consumption, which is good for the environment.

So an individual is less concerned with absolute level of consumption than by relative levels.

The relative levels of consumption are the same as those that appear on the food wheel.

It is difficult for a family to reduce a level of consumption once attained.

Developed countries produce more waste per capita because they have higher levels of consumption.

But there are compensations for this lower level of consumption.
