Feeding a growing world
Feeding a growing worldFree7:09Heddy Score 3 of 7, below the standard
What you need to know
- Farming began about 10,000 years ago, and a large share of the Earth's land is now farmland.
- The problem is how to feed a growing population without wrecking the environment.
- High-tech farming can raise yields, and it carries environmental costs.
- More sustainable practices, including choices made closer to home, are weighed as part of the answer.
- No single fix feeds everyone without a trade-off.
