There’s a revolution happening on America’s farms and on our dinner tables—a revolution that’s changing the nature of the food we eat.
The Future of Food delves into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled America’s grocery store shelves over the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives voice to the farmers whose lives and livelihoods are being negatively impacted by this new technology. Health effects, government policy, and the drive for globalization are all some of the reasons why many people are appalled by the introduction of genetically modified crops into our food supply.
Filmed on location in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, The Future of Food examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as large multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food systems. The film also examines alternatives to large-scale industrial farming and showcases organic and sustainable farming as a real solution to today’s agricultural crisis.
