STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Growing environmental, climate and health problems can be traced back to modern food production, including food insecurity and malnutrition amid mounting food waste, and rising obesity and disease despite growing health care outlays
- Conventional, chemical and energy-intensive farming is also depleting fresh water supplies, while toxic agricultural chemicals pollute air, soil and waterways, thereby threatening the entire food chain from top to bottom
