How feeding the world - and food inequality - are impacting our planet

We all need to eat food to stay alive. In many parts of the world, there's plenty of food available and some even gets wasted. But in other places, people can struggle to find the food they need. Three billion people, or 40 per

cent of the world's population, currently don't have a reliable supply of healthy food.

HUNGRY PLANET looks at how feeding the world - and food inequality - are impacting our world. It explores where our food comes from, how farming and fishing affect the environment, why famines and food shortages happen - and what we can all do to protect the planet and make sure everyone has the food they need.

Aimed at readers aged 9 and up.
