 food supply.   Genetic Engineering is a term that encompasses a variety of 
 ways scientists change the DNA in living organisms. Since the early 70's 
 scientists have been manipulating specific genes at a molecular level, 
 using laboratory procedures on material taken from living organisms, 
 spliced, or recombined and  put into a different organisms. The aim is to 
 introduce new characteristics to an organism to increase its usefulness 
 such as, increasing the yield of a crop species.   The goal of Organic 
 Sacramento is to provide education, promote organic products and facilitate 
 networking between farmers, consumers and local business in the greater 
 Sacramento Area. GE-Free Yolo works to educate the public about the 
 uncertainties of Genetic Engineering, while CAFF works to help farmers 
 through technical support as well as promoting the importance of buying 
 local produce.   Further information about the film can be found at
