Information on genetic engineering can be found online and in print form. Visit our Select Bibliography for important books recommended by the filmmaker of The Future of Food and court rulings related to genetic engineering. Updates to information presented in The Future of Food since it's release in 2004 are available on the Updates page. We have also have a Blog a Facebook Page and a Twitter to post recent reports, petitions, campaigns and online articles on genetic engineering and sustainable agriculture.

Please note: These resources are available for people to further educate themselves about the issues dealt with in the film The Future of Food including genetically engineered foods, patenting, corporatization of agriculture, etc. We, the producers of The Future of Food, do not endorse every statement made by these websites. We hope readers will obtain more information and reach their own conclusions.
