We Feed the World

In WE FEED THE WORLD, Erwin Wagenhofer retraces the path of food and traces economic chains of global dimensions. The dimensions of his topic are admittedly too large to fit into a representative form. Therefore, he contents himself with digressions - with case studies of the logic of a system that is driven by economic profit and thereby accepts the "collateral damage" of hunger. Wagenhofer's approach is strictly instructive. He does not appear as an author himself, but leaves the field of critical stocktaking to an expert in Jean Ziegler, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Right to Food. DOMINIK KAMALZADEH

"The message is: we have to live differently, we have to eat differently, we have to shop differently, we have to watch different movies. Or at least we have to be dissatisfied with what we have." ERWIN WAGENHOFER
