520 |a In this final episode, we examine what it takes to keep seven billion humans alive with food, energy and water. Forty percent of the Earth's surface is now devoted to growing food. To appreciate how we have transformed vast swathes of land to produce food we paraglide over the south coast of Spain to see an arid landscape that is home to the world's largest greenhouse array. We also ride with the cowboys on Brazil's largest cattle ranch, to help herd over 125,000 cattle. We visit Lake Mead, the biggest man-made lake in the USA, to see how it has helped us transform harsh desert into the bright lights of Las Vegas.
