We Feed The World Trailer

Trailer for Film We Feed The World By Erwin Wagenhofer. Close to one billion people are starving worldwide. But the food we are currently producing could feed 12 billion people.
An eye-opening documentary about scarcity and plenty which traces the origins of the food we eat, taking us to France, Spain, Romania, Switzerland, Brazil and Austria. Those interviewed are not only the UNs Jean Wiegler and corporate executives of the worlds largest food companies, but also struggling fishermen, farmers and livestock growers, the very people who put food on our plates. WE FEED THE WORLD lays bare a globalized food industry in which the constant pursuit of profit takes precedence over preserving livelihoods or sustaining natural resources.

PETER BRABECK FROM NESTE - REAL TERRIBLE REPTILE !!!!!! :-((((

Yuck !

funny thing that we need to buy water, I mean its a basic need, we would die if we don´t drink it, so basically we buy our lives, if you think about that way. But in city you can buy them, the one who don´t have much bigger problems, and we really should find a way to get a solution, it´s stupid if you think about it, water is almost everywhere, but they can´t get it because they have no opportunity to get there or anything, think about the food waste too, I mean we throw it away and they die.

@noprofitmaximierung PS, Bangalore is in India, one of those beggar countries where people are starving, etc.

India supposedly hosts 25% of the world's hungry, 43% of their kids are malnourished, yet they pull that?

Also, in order to help "save the environment", scientists in China are repeating our Gasohol debacle, using corn as fuel, which is less polluting than fossil-fuel, but drives up the price of food! All this waste is to drive the price up so farmers make more!

@noprofitmaximierung For WHOSE consumption? Did you know 85% of our oil-consumption is not cars, but agriculture? If we cut back our farms to ONLY FEED AMERICA, no waste, imagine how much land, water, and oil would be saved! BUT if we do that, Africa starves!

Also look up the Tomato Festival. 15 TONS of tomatoes thrown at each other, instead of eaten. Who wants to eat a splattered tomato?

Look up "Tomato Festival in Bangalore", people SWIMMING in more tomatoes than I eat all year!!

@lovelovinghorses Careful what you wish for, bottled water has become a multi-BILLION dollar industry! However, that water has to be taken from SOMEWHERE. IIRC, Coca-Cola is bottling water in India, but that leaves India short!

@StopWastingFood The only way to sto wasting food is to let workers control production for consumption, and not for Capital accumulation. Socialism.

Very important movie! Extremely thought-provoking... We humans need to wake up, before it's too late. The food waste must end.
