Hungry Planet episode 1



"One billion. That's the number of hungry people worldwide. The effects are heartbreaking. The causes myriad. Solutions are needed now to feed future generations.In this series, the UN 's three food agencies - FAO, WFP and IFAD - take us around the globe in search of answers to some of the most pressing questions we face today.
Join WFP for an unsettling look at the conditions of drought-victims in Chad; IFAD to see how an island nation is preparing for the day when it will be underwater; and FAO to see how farmers in Burkina Faso are learning to produce more."
