Feeding humanity and preserving the biosphere
So-called conventional agriculture, based on monoculture and the intensive use of chemicals, is gradually destroying the ecosystems that are essential to food production, jeopardising our own existence and that of other species.
Rethinking the current system is imperative, but how? Does the solution lie in technological innovation, or will changes in eating habits be required? A reflection on agricultural policies that can preserve our planet and ensure food security.

Food, Inc. 2
In a second fast-paced opus, Food Inc. 2 continues its investigation into the workings of the global food system, particularly in America. With industrialisation, centralisation and illusion, mass distribution is stifling all competition. The film takes us deep into the market for meat substitutes, with start-ups offering innovative foods such as plant-based chicken wings and milk made without cows. To what extent do these new foods represent a revolution in the food system?
