The Big Questions

This special World Food Day conversation shifts the perspective on agriculture from mere food production to a deep relationship between people, soil, biodiversity, and the future The session will explore critical questions, including:
• Why does global hunger persist on a planet that already produces enough food for everyone?
• Is our core issue production capacity, or is it our assumptions about consumption and entitlement?
• How can we sustainably feed a global population of 11 billion without exhausting our soil and exploiting agricultural workers?
• What do we owe future generations who will rely on the very land we farm today?
Join Paul Hanley to discover how sustainable farming can teach us resilience and help us build food systems that nourish both humanity and the living world
