Bread is a symbol used on game maps to represent the amount of food production in that space, upon which the world's population depends. The amount of bread designated in a hex is determined by the hex type, which in turn is a product of infrastructure. Hex types range from 1 to 8, with a "1" indicating a highly civilised hex and an "8" indicating uncivilised wilderness. Thus, type-1 and type-2 hexes possess much bread, while type-7 and type-8 hexes comparatively have very little.
