The Hungry Planet exhibition, hosted by Pier 21 and produced by the Montreal Science Centre, will allow visitors to discover the extent to which food and the sharing of food are integral parts of culture.
This exhibition exposes the human condition and provides an opportunity to reflect on the great issues that challenge our planet: nutrition, famine, drought, poverty, power and globalization. A photographic exhibition, it features the eating habits of 25 families from 21 countries around the globe and is based on the book titled Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, written by Faith D’Aluisio with photos by Peter Menzel.
