More Info

It's good to know that... enough food is being grown in the developing world (but sadly, due to unfair trade it's not reaching everybody in the fair way that it should). Although this film was made three years ago, it is still relevant. American and EU farmers are still heavily subsidised and farmers in Ghana are still struggling to compete with 'dumped' produce which is considered higher quality.
