The diagram illustrates the main steps involved in producing food for everyday consumption. Overall, the process can be divided into six stages, starting at harvesting, and ending with human consumption.
First of all, food is grown and harvested on farms. Then, in the second stage, this raw produce is sent to processing plants to be preserved or combined with other ingredients in order to make commercial food products. Following this, the finished goods are transported by road to restaurants or shops.
From this point, the food can take one of two paths. If it has been delivered to a restaurant, it is then used in the preparation of meals which are in turn purchased by diners. On the other hand, the food products might be bought from retail outlets, such as supermarkets, by individual consumers, and then used to prepare meals at home.
Finally, regardless of whether the food finishes up in restaurants or homes, it is eaten.
