"The Future of Food" Film Screening and Seed Politics Panel
Sunday, Apr. 11th from 5-7pm (arrive early - movie starts at 5:00 sharp)


An insightful peak into GMOs (genetically modified organisms) as related to seed production with the film screening of “The Future of Foods” by Deborah Koons Garcia for Lily Films followed by a panel discussion by local experts.

The Future of Food, a groundbreaking documentary released in 2004, distills the complex technology and key regulatory, legal, ethical, environmental and consumer issues surrounding the troubling changes happening in the food system today—genetically engineered foods, patenting, and the corporatization of food—into terms the average person can easily understand. It empowers consumers to understand the consequences of their food choices on our future.
