The
Future of Food, 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 about 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 crises
today.
