89 min.
The Future of Food, by ACFF guest filmmaker Deborah Koons Garcia, offers an in-depth investigation into genetic engineering of food crops, gene patents, and food labeling — together comprising a revolution” in the way U.S. industries stock grocery-store shelves.The Future of Food provides a good keynote for the festival’s theme, “Conservation’s Front Lines.” It was instrumental in passing a measure banning planting of genetically engineered crops in Mendocino County, California, probably the only U.S. county government to do so.
