As world population moves past 6.8 billion, the global food crisis places agriculture as one of the top priorities for the future of humankind. This crisis has since been eclipsed by the most severe financial crisis in 80 years. It is therefore not surprising that the ghost of Thomas Malthus, the controversial 19th century economist and demographer, has come back to haunt our screens with his inevitable famine. Today's experts respond to him.
Followed by a discussion (FR) in partnership Les Amis du Monde Diplomatique (Belgique).
