Why Englands Food is Safe: A Map Showing the Percentage of Food Supplies Derived from Neutral Countries during WWI (1914) As the First World War (WW1, WWI) raged on in 1914, the British public grew increasingly concerned about the safety and security of their food supplies. With many European countries at war, the question of where England's food was coming from and whether it could be trusted became a topic of national importance. This print, titled "Why Englands Food is Safe," seeks to reassure the public by illustrating the percentage of food supplies that were being imported from neutral countries. The map, adorned with intricate detail, highlights the various sources of meat, wheat, flour, butter, cheese, and eggs, with the percentages of each item's origin indicated by the size of the corresponding country or region. The map reveals that a significant proportion of England's food supplies were coming from countries that remained neutral in the conflict, such as the United States, Argentina, and Canada. For instance, over 60% of England's meat supplies were coming from Argentina, while the US was providing over 50% of the wheat and flour. The map also shows that smaller quantities of foodstuffs were being imported from other neutral countries, such as Switzerland, Sweden, and Denmark. The print serves as a reminder of the intricate global food trade networks that existed even during times of war. It also underscores the importance of neutral countries in maintaining the food security of belligerent nations. With reassuring statistics and figures, the map aimed to alleviate the fears of the British public and provide them with valuable information about the origins of their food supplies during this critical period in history.
