The Future of Food

Purchase VHS/DVD
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.
