The "Future of Food” is a documnetary by Deborah Koons Garcia and Lily Films that takes a hard look at the horrifying growth of corporate influence on individual lives. It investigates the effects of biotechnology and U.S. patent laws on the livelihood of small farmers and on the consumer's ability to recognize accurately the most basic of crops: corn, canola, soy, wheat.

Exposing the web of connections between major agricultural industrialists and the highest levels of the government, the film reveals how genetically-modified foods have slipped into the food supply without the knowledge or support of the public. The "Future of Food" is an engaging and lucid presentation of not only the science of genetic engineering, but of the people and the politics behind what looks to be a pitched battle to control the global food supply.

The "Future of Food” will make you think twice on your next trip to the supermarket!
