The Future of Food (2005)

The Future of Food is a documentary which focuses on growing concerns over how our crops are produced, and how science is altering the foods we eat.Interesting documentary. To me it was a little boring and tedious because of so many excruciating facts and evidence including scientific which clearly were important in this film but nevertheless a good documentary. No matter what everyone is affected by crop growing in all it's aspects and should in some way acknowledge the facts portrayed in this film and become aware. With deregulation's placing less federal scrutiny on how crops are grown, and an increasing number of "angri-business" firms introducing genetically modified vegetables and grains, some experts have begun to question just what we are eating, and how it got that way. Enjoy!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.
