If the world's food production is at peak, why does a child die of hunger every second? The film reveals causes & impacts of the food supply imbalance and explores ways to feed the growing population. The world's supply of food is becoming more and more imbalanced. One billion people are starving and every second a child dies of hunger and its consequences. At the same time, the world's food production is at its peak level, and the demand for meat is growing not only in the industrial world. How can it be that up to 30% of the world's harvest is ruined by plant diseases and pests and less than half our harvest ends up on our plate? This film reveals the causes and impacts of this imbalance and tries to find solutions to how we can get prepared to feed the world's growing population of up to nine billion people in the next 35 years.
