You will find the questions.

You will find the answers.

An epic journey through space and time exploring one of the most pressing questions of our era: how can we feed the planet a healthy diet, with a global population projected to reach nearly 10 billion and natural resources already under strain from human activity?

From Ukraine to the Congo, via Argentina, moving through food systems, diets, lobbying forces, and farming communities, How to Feed the Planet reveals how some of the greatest conflicts of our time are driven not only by the race for oil and rare earths, but also by the struggle to control land and food resources. A global journalistic investigation in search of answers – starting with the right questions.

Director’s notes

The film confronts us with a choice we cannot escape, which is ultimately the defining choice of our time. We can continue to consume an excessive amount of resources – something that today means legitimizing a system based on exploitation, destruction, and domination, but that tomorrow will mean witnessing an increasing number of conflicts over the control of agricultural, food, and water resources. Or we can acknowledge what has not worked in the system we have built over the past decades and roll up our sleeves to set things right.
