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.
