The
Future of Food.
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.
If
you are interested in attending a Film & Discussion session
watch this space! In addition scroll to the bottom of this page for a
brief note on the basics.
Please
note that anyone is welcome to attend our film and
Discussion events
regardless of their political persuasion, except for fascists and those
who espouse racist views.If you'd like to come
along, events are usually on the 2nd Sunday of the month at the same
location in Shimokitazawa.
Usually, a short introduction to the group is given to newcomers and
then a brief introduction to the film follows. After the film there is
a 10-15 minute break after which open democratic discussions follow
once a chair has been appointed. Everyone gets the chance to speak and
to learn from one another.Participants are from a variety of
backgrounds with different political viewpoints and differing degrees
of
knowledge and experience.
If you're interested in social,economic and political issues in general
or want to become an activist of some sort, then this is a good place
to meet people-
everyone is friendly and
welcoming!
