“The Food Challenge” is a documentary about the use of toxic pesticides in Kenya and the threat they pose to people’s health, the environment and food security.
The story exposes the manner in which small-scale farmers believe in the promises made by pesticide manufacturers for better yields. The film critically questions whether agro-chemicals are needed to fight hunger whilst simultaneously proposing alternative approaches to food production, such as organic farming.
