Supersized Earth

Series 1 Episode 3: Food, Fire and Water

Dallas examines what it takes to keep seven billion humans alive with food, energy and water. 40 per cent of the Earth's surface is now devoted to growing food. To appreciate how we have transformed vast swathes of land to produce food, Dallas paraglides over the south coast of Spain, where what was once an arid landscape is now home to the world's largest greenhouse array.
