The Third Rider of the Apocalypse, hunger, the black horseman, rides cruelly over our planet, today more than ever.
Almost 8 billion humans live on Earth, a quantity that is under some aspects unsustainable. One in eight is suffering starvation and/or malnutrition.
Climate change, desease, natural disasters, wars and violence, discrimination, high prices of basic food, biofuel production and distribution of wealth...all these factors deeply influence the problem of food shortage in the world.
