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.
