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. [TRT: 88min]
