Food or Famine? (36x11)


Yayınlanma tarihi: Şub 15, 1996

(Episodes order to be confirmed) - Is the human population going to outstrip the earth's food supply? This is the central question in this provocative new two-hour special. Side effects of recent food surpluses include environmental problems such as soil erosion, salinization and chemical pollution. Food or Famine looks at projects in North America, Chile, Indonesia, Africa and India that are participating in a worldwide movement to return to agricultural methods based on sound ecological principles. But as the world population continues to increase, new crops with higher yields will have to be developed. This special also examines the worldwide imbalance between food consumption and production.
