Here, where once stood a rain forest with mighty forest giants, extending huge soybean fields today. The Brazilian biologist José Puhl Vincent keeps the soy cultivation in cleared areas of the former forest of very questionable: “20 years ago was still virgin forest. And he was cleared for one reason: to plant soybeans. Here we do not want soy in the Amazon. Why not? Our soil is good, but it is not suitable for soybeans. “The soybean crop is used for cattle fattening in Europe. Thanks to the cheap soybeans from Brazil, the meat price in Europe will be kept low, while around a quarter of Brazil’s population is starving. What does this mean for the people who make the Swiss Jean Ziegler, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, substantially, the poor northeast of Brazil’s desperate Brazilian mother cook dinner stones to their starving children calm down with the prospect of eating “(. ..), and (the mother hopes), to sleep in the meantime that the starving children, and have stopped crying. “” We Feed the World “draws on themes common to each one of us, controversial and important.

A transporter criticized the low price of grain: “When I tell them now that the ton of wheat now costs 100 euros. And today when I look, how much is the grit and what does the salt that you sprinkle in winter on the road must (…) Today, the grit will cost more than the wheat that the farmer produces. And you need to know the people. “Just as the food globalization affects all of us, the film also treats our impact on the food globalization: What can we do so again after tasting tomatoes tomatoes? Do we need strawberries in December and asparagus all year round? What can we eat and drink? How do we deal with our food order and at what price? “We feed the world” treats all these issues are for each one of us ever more explosive and more important.

For example in Brazil, in the state of “Matto Grosso” (German: “large forest”), south of the Amazon: aerial photographs show a largely treeless area. Here, where a rainforest with mighty giants once stood, there are now huge soybean fields. The Brazilian biologist Vincent José Puhl considers the cultivation of soy on the cleared areas of the former primeval forest to be very questionable: “20 years ago there was still primeval forest here. And it was cleared for one reason only: to plant soy. We don’t want soy here in the Amazon. Why not? Our soil is good, but it is not suitable for soy. ”The soy harvest is needed for cattle fattening in Europe. Thanks to the cheap soybeans from Brazil, the price of meat in Europe can be kept low while around a quarter of the Brazilian population is starving. The Swiss Jean Ziegler, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, makes it clear what this means for people: In the poor northeast of Brazil, desperate Brazilian mothers cook stones in the evening to calm their starving children with the prospect of food “(. ..) and (the mother) hopes that in the meantime the starving children have fallen asleep and stopped crying. ”“ We feed the world ”takes up issues that are explosive and important for each and every one of us.
