2,000 m2 of arable land would be available to every person on earth if the arable land available worldwide were evenly distributed. More than ten years ago, the Weltacker (Global Field) project was founded in Berlin – an educational project that cultivates the most important crops that would be needed if we wanted to feed the world’s population on these 2,000 m2 per person.
This guide explains the history behind the Global Field project and its key goal: providing a lively experience to urban people to understand how food is produced while keeping in mind the local, global, and climate-related dimensions of food production.
