      abstract = {The world faces an impending catastrophe if nothing is  done. In the context of the steepest rises of population in  human history, world food security is an increasingly  urgent issue. The film focuses on Africa, south of the  Sahara, the region of the world most under threat of food  shortages and where absolute poverty is increasing at an  alarming rate. The key issue is the development of  agriculture in this severely disadvantaged region. How this  situation can be reversed is highlighted primarily by the  experience in Tanzania, Ghana and Benin. The film explores  the critical changes needed to reduce poverty and protect  the environment in sub-Saharan Africa -- for example  tackling the massive "mining" of soil nutrients. Expert  testimony is provided by Dr. Norman Borlaug (Nobel Peace  Prize winner) as well as other distinguished agricultural  scientists, and on the political front by Frederick Sumaye  (Prime Minister of Tanzania) and Ibrahim Adam (Minister of  Food and Agriculture in Ghana). The problems are huge, the  situation is urgent, but there is vast untapped potential  in the people and environments of the region. The right  policies can avert a catastrophe of unprecedented  proportions.},
