The Future of Food, Film Screening and Discussion

Sat, May 23 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Join the Almaden Library for the first event in a series that we will be focusing on this summer, Food for Thought. After the viewing the film The Future of Food, environmental law graduate Maria Ryan will lead the discussion.

"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 revealing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled our grocery store shelves for the past decade. The film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of politics and corporate control of the world's food system, while exploring the alternatives of organic and sustainable agricultures as real solutions".
