1 Taking 1961 as the baseline of 100, total food production increased in
the following 40 years (to the year 2000) to 245 for the whole world, to 252
for Africa, to 381 for Asia, to 296 for Latin America, to 202 for the US, to 168
for western Europe, to 570 for China, and to 155 for the UK. Again taking 1961
as a baseline of 100 for per-capita food production, the index in 2000 was 125
for the world, 91 for Africa, 176 for Asia, 128 for Latin America, 137 for the
US, 142 for western Europe, 299 for China, and 139 for the UK. Data were
analysed from the Food and Agricultural Organization's (FAO's) database,
FAOSTAT, Rome.

There were then 18 between 1714-1727 under George I; 229 between 1727-
1760 under George II; and 2500 under George III and Queen Victoria between
1761-1844. For details of the enclosures of open fields and the commons, see
Hoskins, 1955; Wordie, 1983; Mingay, 1977.
