Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
With hunger and malnutrition on the rise around the world, you could be forgiven for thinking the Earth no longer produces enough for a growing population. That is simply not true. Since the 1960s, agricultural production has grown faster than the number of humans. What goes wrong is how that food is produced and distributed.
The figures clash. 7% of children under five suffer from malnutrition, while 40% of adults are overweight. And today, poor diet kills more adults than tobacco does. Feeding eight billion people is no easy task: the supply chain has gaps, we throw away staggering amounts of food, and many farming practices are no longer sustainable.
