Submitted by Teresa Buerkle on June 4, 2012

In the latest episode of Hungry Planet, researchers measure carbon levels stored within Tanzania’s forests; Brazilian farmers turn to sustainable agriculture to rehabilitate the natural environment; and Mali refugees arrive at the M’bera refugee camp in Mauritania in search of food and safety.

The Hungry Planet series showcases how the three UN food agencies – FAO, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Programme – are working to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges in their joint battle against chronic hunger.
