[Net Impact] “THE FUTURE OF FOOD” TODAY!

A friendly reminder:

*Net Impact Film Screening and Discussion of “THE FUTURE OF FOOD” THIS
Thursday!*

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.
