American multinational, Cargill, trades in food commodities. They purchase, trade and distribute all of the basic ingredients on our plates – from meat to oil and cereal. At 121 billion euros a year, their turnover is twice Mcdonald's and Coca-Cola's combined and larger than the GDP of Hungary, yet few know their name.

Today, this giant is at the centre of a controversy regarding the destruction of food crops (and local jobs), pollution and deforestation. In France, the US and Latin America, farmers and residents are sounding the alarm about the negative consequences of the global agri-business.

We investigate this multinational which is also suspected of having indirectly caused the 2008 hunger riots by speculating on certain commodities. The vice president of Cargill goes exclusively on record for us to respond to various charges.

This documentary was first released in 2015.
