About the movie:

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.
