THE FUTURE OF FOOD
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.
REVIEWS:
"The Future of Food provides an excellent overview of
the key questions raised by consumers as they become
aware of GM foods... [The film] draws questions to critical
attention about food production that need more public debate."
--- Film Review by Thomas J. Hoban, Nature Biotechnology Magazine,
March 2005, Volume 23 No. 3
"If you eat food, you need to see The Future of Food..."
--- Newstarget.com
"This stylish film is not just for food faddists and
nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want to
see: Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds,
collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our
agricultural neighbors around the world. In the end, this
documentary is a eloquent call to action."
_ -- The Telluride Daily Planet
