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.

It needs to be pointed out that the Bt toxin is the only pesticide certified for use in organic farming, and that the alternative to Bt corn is application of organophosphates, many of which are known to be acutely toxic. And their claim that prior to roundup ready crops, herbicide application was rare…? Can anyone substantiate that? Can THEY? |

We showed this documentary at our progressive film festival at my university last year. It is amazing and a must-see for anyone concerned about where their food is coming from, the misdeeds of agribusiness, and the state of the future society. |
