ONE EARTH doc is an independent investigative project to research the environmental, social and ethical impact of the global food system.
We investigate the ever-increasing animal production and the further intensification in factory farming.
We follow a One Health approach: human health is deeply related to animal health and environmental health. So what happens to humankind when the balance gets broken?
We expose the “side effects” of the food system, including deforestation, land, water and resources grabbing, loss of biodiversity, chemical pollution, social impacts.
We also include in our research the ethical matter, investigating the cultural and religious roots that brought us to an unbalanced and unethical food system, that is now jeopardizing our life in this planet.
Journalistic investigations and documentaries
ONE EARTH doc is an independent journalistic project. The main outputs are:
- Feature stories published on international media, investigating the global food system, factory farms, environmental and social matters, fishery and fish farms, deforestation and loss of biodiversity, human health, food security, ethics.
- A series of documentaries investigating different aspects of an unsustainable food system.
