the NESTLE empire - "we feed the world - global food"

In WE FEED THE WORLD, Austrian filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer traces the origins of the food we eat. His journey takes him to France, Spain, Romania, Switzerland, Brazil and back to Austria.

Leading us through the film is an interview with Jean Ziegler, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food.

WE FEED THE WORLD is a film about food and globalisation, fishermen and farmers, long-distance lorry drivers and high-powered corporate executives, the flow of goods and cash flowa film about scarcity amid plenty. 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 .

Interviewed are not only 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.

I Fully agree with greensubmarine1981. It is indeed a terrible cycle that only feeds the rich. Also very inefficiant.

Is there a cure? It makes me sick how those criminal concern bosses develop a food system of global hunger and support biological wasteland. Very hard to believe that's happening in the name of money and power. This system has become a monster crowned with the suffering of children and mother nature. How blind and corrupt these business men are, no love, no truth!!

I am awake! Saints on March!!
