FROM PLATE TO PLANET

A full plate is a system at work.

Behind an ordinary meal sit farms, water, storage and trade.

Türkiye produces only 4.2 units of soy for every 100 units it uses domestically.

02 / PAUSE. MAKE A PREDICTION.

For every 100 units of maize used in Türkiye, how much comes from usable domestic production?

An intuition is a starting point. The evidence is the reveal.

THE REVEAL

Total wheat reaches 104.3%. But durum wheat reaches 202%, while other wheat is at 92.3%. A surplus in one category can conceal a gap in another.

A ratio below 100 is a production-use gap, not a measured import share. Trade, stocks and processed-product equivalents also matter.

TRY THE MECHANISM

A field is only the beginning.

Open a link in the chain to see what a production number leaves out.

Conceptual supply chain · connections are not measured trade volumes

Inputs

Seed, fertiliser, energy and water arrive before the harvest. A productive field can still depend on outside inputs.

Change an input. Watch what follows.

TRY THE MECHANISM

Same volume. Different vulnerability.

Two hypothetical supply networks import the same 100 units. Close their largest supplier.

TRY THE MECHANISM

Before the grain, there is water.

Keep the useful water fixed. Change how efficiently it reaches the crop.

What changes when you see the connections?

The price tag is the end of a chain. Different ingredients can carry very different supply risks, even inside the same country.
