Food Super Highway

Synopsis
This programme looks at the web of movement that connects every country in the world: the path our food must take in order to reach the local supermarkets. Looking at the techniques used to ship different perishables over long distances, this BBC TV programme shows the important role technology plays in food import and export, and the environmental cost of shipping food around the world, compared with growing the food more locally - with surprising results.
