 ‘THE FUTURE OF FOOD’
Jun 16 2006
A FILM BY DEBORAH KOONS GARCIA
There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner
tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature
of the food we eat.
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation
into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically
engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves
for the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to
the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose
lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology.
The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization
are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction
of genetically altered crops into our food supply.
Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico,
THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political
forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations
seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives
to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable
agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.
