A travers la recherche rassemblee pendant des visites avec des fermiers, des scientifiques et des gens ordinaires, Elizabeth nous parlera du processus de l’ecriture de son livre sur l’industrie globale de la nourriture. Elle repondra aux questions :

Pourquoi la securite de l’alimentation et des communautes est-elle importante ?

Comment est-ce que l’elevage industriel et la modification genetique impactent sur notre nourriture ?

Qu’est ce que les communautes font pour faire une difference ?
