We Feed The World

My friends of ATS,

I have just started watching this documentory called " We feed the world " by Erwin Wagenhofer and thought it was worth sharing as it has superb research and indeed a real eye opener into - food and globalization, fishermen and farmers, long-distance lorry drivers and high-powered corporate executives, and the flow of goods and cash flow.

It really does go into all of the above and, if like me, will leave your jaw on the floor

A few snippets >

Every day in Vienna the amount of unsold bread sent back to be disposed of is enough to supply Austria's second-largest city, Graz.

Around 350,000 hectares of agricultural land, above all in Latin America, are dedicated to the cultivation of soybeans to feed Austria's livestock while one quarter of the local population starves. Every European eats ten kilograms a year of artificially irrigated greenhouse vegetables from southern Spain, with water shortages the result.

With its unforgettable images, the film provides insight into the production of our food and answers the question what world hunger has to do with us.

Its madness, and we are all to blame for it, as human beings we have the right to do something about this. Though, this is just my personal opinion

Erwin Wagenhofer seems to know the right people to interview to make this documentory, such as ...

Fishermen, farmers, agronomists, biologists and the UN's Jean Ziegler, but also the director of production at Pioneer, the world's largest seed company, as well as Peter Brabeck, Chairman and CEO of Nestlé International, the largest food company in the world

Hope you enjoy
