Part 4 - Livestock on leftovers      (6 minutes)

 

Hannah van Zanten, professor at Wageningen University, looks at how we can redistribute food and livestock in a more equitable way. Her research examines what animal production across world regions is possible when we only feed livestock the 'leftovers' from the food system - food waste, industrial by-products, crop residues, and pastures.
