We are moving from a supply to a demand side view of learning. "Learnscapes are the platforms where knowledge workers collaborate, solve problems, converse, share ideas, brainstorm, learn, explain, communicate, conceptualise, tell stories, help one another, teach, serve customers, keep up to date, forge partnerships, build communities, and distribute information. Learnscapes define where and how modern work is performed. Training programs are events; learnscapes are longterm processes."

Meat the Truth is the very first documentary to address the relationship between livestock farming and climate change. Previous films on global warming, such as Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, have failed to address this issue despite the fact that livestock production is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The film also addresses the issues of the impact of livestock farming on water shortages and the unequal distribution of food resources.
