The big questions

The kind of questions this session opens up.

  1. Have you ever wondered how a planet that grows enough food for everyone still can’t manage to feed everyone?
  2. Is the real problem how much we can produce, or how much we have decided we are entitled to consume?
  3. Can we feed eleven billion people without using up the soil -- and the people who tend it -- in the process?
  4. What do we owe a generation we will never meet, who will eat from the land we are farming today?
