DESCRIPTION:Great Film by DEBORAH KOONS GARCIA "THE FUTURE OF FOOD"  followed by 
 discussion led by  DR. IGNACIO CHAPELA, newly tenured UC Biology Professor, 
 featured in film.  Don't miss this fascinating film about the revolution 
 happening on the farms and dinners tables  of America, transforming the 
 very nature of the food we eat.  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 corporate 
 globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about 
 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 seeks 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.  \n
