How to feed the world ?

This video directed by Denis van Waerebeke for the « Bon appétit » exhibition, aimed mainly at kids aged 9 to 14, investigates why one in seven people is malnourished, how food dependency affects the poor, and how we can make sure we’ve all got enough to eat in the resource-strapped future. It’s pretty comprehensive.
It’s interesting that comparative advantage—that awesome win-win arrangement you learned about in economics 101—is actually responsible for the food dependency that makes life in parts of Africa, for example, so difficult.

One of the most comprehensive and succinct explanations for the problem faced by the 1 billion people going hungry today… Will be sharing this in my networks. Thank you.
