At the Los Angeles world premiere of FOOD 2050, Viola Davis talks about her role as narrator and executive producer and what drew her to the project.

Co-hosted by The Rockefeller Foundation, Media RED, and Food Tank, the premiere introduced a documentary focused on how a growing global population can be fed in ways that support people, communities, and the planet.

FOOD 2050 follows farmers, scientists, activists, and entrepreneurs working on issues such as climate change, soil health, food access, and nutrition. The film highlights practical, place-based work happening across different regions.

The program also included remarks and conversations with leaders from Food Tank, The Rockefeller Foundation, visionaries featured in the film, and the filmmaking team. Viola Davis received the Food 2050 Global Humanitarian Achievement Award for her role in helping bring these stories to a wider audience.

FOOD 2050 aims to contribute to ongoing conversations about food systems by centering real people and real-world solutions.
