We take our food for granted. Supermarket shelves groan with an incredible variety of produce – produce of all seasons, and from all over the world. Recently it has become apparent that the international food system is not as stable as it looks. Is this just the beginning of a new era of food – an era when the old certainties are radically overturned?

Travelling to America, Latin America, India, Africa and Europe, this series unravels the complicated web of links that binds the world together, bringing food from farm to table and asks what needs to happen to avert a major global food crisis. This series offers a remarkable journey through the world’s food system and uncovers the hidden dangers that threaten its survival.

DID YOU KNOW?
At present the planet produces enough food to feed 2.5 billion people on a meat-heavy, Western diet. The UN estimates the world population will exceed 9 billion by 2050.

Also available in French: Nourrir la planète (edited 45 minute version)
