Goa Heritage Action Group is organising a screening of a documentary film
"The Future of Food" at Peoples Panjim Art Gallery, Fontainhas on 30th July
at 6 pm. Duration of the film is one hour
"The dangers of GM (genetically modified) crop are more grave than one
would imagine !!!
There are some PROS which the companies try to put forward , but the fact
that GM food is untested with unknown side effects, and the fact that we
risk losing the crop heritage is frightening !
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing
truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have
quietly filled 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.
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.
