(Secure ) Food For Thought

Business Daily

Available for over a year

"Food security" is the great buzz phrase, espoused by the world's leaders. But what does it mean and does it make sense? Should countries try to reduce imports of food and grow their own? We'll have the view of the potato industries in Fiji and Saudi Arabia on why they're growing their own. And the view of the expert from the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation. Plus an assessment of the American environmentalist, Lester Brown.
