The Future of Food

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 crisis today. The Future
of Food reveals that there is a revolution going on in the farm fields and on
the dinner tables of America, a revolution that is transforming the very nature
of the food we eat
