A lot of food arrives from Kenya every day: green beans, pak choi, sugar snap peas, basil, mangoes and cauliflower. Many of these products are grown specifically for export. Why are so many vegetables imported from Kenya that can be grown in the Netherlands? The stable climate and extremely low wages (about 2 to 3 dollars per day) make Kenya the vegetable garden of Europe. The Dutch consumer is spoiled with fruit and vegetables that are available all year round.
Where does our food come from? Where is it going? What route does it take from production to our plate? Photographer and filmmaker Kadir van Lohuizen searches for the world behind the food on our plates and brings into focus what often remains outside our field of view.
