Feed the Planet: A Photographic Journey to the World’s Food

Do you know where your food comes from? Renowned photographer George Steinmetz spent a decade documenting food production across more than 36 countries on six continents and five oceans to answer this question. From the sprawling mega-farms of Brazil to the artisanal fishermen off the coast of Mauritania and the cutting-edge greenhouses of The Netherlands, his exploration reveals the vast and intricate web of modern food production.

In this talk, Steinmetz will share stunning visuals captured from the skies and the ground, offering an unparalleled perspective on the systems that feed our world. Through his lens, the audience will gain a deeper understanding of how agriculture has transformed 40% of the Earth’s surface and become a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. With impactful imagery and thought-provoking insights, Steinmetz will challenge attendees to reflect on the choices they make every day and their collective impact on the health of our planet. This session promises to be as visually striking as it is informative, inspiring a fresh look at the future of food sustainability.
