Food supply :-food obtained for a household or for a country, an expedition, etc. is called food supplies. 

A food supply chain or food system refers to the processes that describe how food from a farm ends up on our tables. The processes include production, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal. ... Every step of the supply chain requires human and/or natural resources.

Food Pyramid :-

food pyramid is a representation of the optimal number of servings to be eaten each day from each of the basic food groups. The first pyramid was published in Sweden in 1974. The 1992 pyramid introduced by the United States Department of Agriculture was called the "Food Guide Pyramid" or "Eating Right Pyramid"

There are five parts of food pyramids-

  1. Eat Most - Grains
  2. Eat More - Vegetables and fruits
  3. Eat Moderately - Meat, fish, egg and alternatives (including dry beans) and milk and alternatives
  4. Eat Less - Fat/ oil, salt and sugar
