There will be an extra two billion mouths to feed by 2050, but arable land is in decline. An area twice the size of India would have to be cleared and cultivated to support the world’s burgeoning population. There just isn’t enough space to meet demand.

This three part docs-series follows farmers, activists and entrepreneurs who are coming up with ingenious solutions to avert a global food crisis on limited land. From Indonesian farmers who have turned to an army of insects to survive, women who are mobilising en masse in India to feed the nation, and an entrepreneur in Singapore who believes our future lies in lab-grown foods.

The world relies on just 12 crops and five animals for more than 75% of what we eat. But the weather is changing and crops are struggling to grow in places they used to. What happens when we can no longer farm the food that we eat?

We follow the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurs, farmers and scientists across Asia as they fight to protect the world’s future food supply. Whilst a traditional farmer in Kerala protects climate resistant rice varieties from extinction, offshore seaweed farmers experiment with growing seaweed in warmer oceans and entrepreneurs in Singapore make instant noodles out of unusual crops.
