In order to feed the current entire global population a diet similar to that of Western cultures would take 21 billion acres of arable land.  It is estimated that planet Earth has 7.9 billion acres of arable land.  Join host Jane Turville to explore just how much land is needed for everyone currently on the planet to eat a brain healthy diet.  

If you think food insecurity equals hunger, think again.  And if you think that food insecurity is about lack of food, please join host Jane Turville to take a deeper dive into the realm of food insecurity in our modern world.

How much does it cost to eat the foods that support brain function?  Depending on your income and where you live, it can be almost impossible.  Join host Jane Turville as she explores the cost of purchasing the foods that maintain cognitive health in Portland Oregon.

So excited to have you join me for this second season of THE PEOPLE FACTOR.  This year we're focused on the link between population growth and economics.  Money is the number one reason people tout population growth.  As we'll see, that's a myth built in a tradition of poverty for many and wealth for a few.  Join us as we dive into the deep end of population growth!!!
