Film "The Future of Food" with Erica Martinsen
P.I.N.A. (Preserving the Integrity of Napa's Agriculture) and the Carolyn Parr Nature Center present Deborah Koons Garcia's provocative film on genetically engineered crops and the politics behind them. The film shows the impact of such crops on farmers and the environment. Garcia also demonstrates the extent to which a few corporations are consolidating ownership of the nation's food supply. "My goal was to make a film that gave the average person a clear understanding of how genetic engineering works. . . . Once you see it, you'll feel compelled to act, even if that means just changing the kind of food you eat," Garcia stated.
