This is a 15 Minute Short film that is an attempt to show
some of the characters and topics that have been accumulated during the
process of making a film about agriculture. 15 minutes is not enough time to
even scratch the surface of our relationship with agriculture.
However, through this mosaic of expertise and wisdom there is hope that the
viewer will find the information compelling enough to move towards action.

Food Routes: "Where does your food come
from?" encourages you to buy local. Why? for exceptional taste and
freshness, to strengthen your local economy, support endangered family
farms, safeguard your families health and protect the environment. The Local
Harvest Community level map helps you find local Farms, Farmer's markets,
Food Co-ops, U pick Farms, CSA's and Farm Stands by state. So far, we don't
have much listed for our area.

- "The Future of Food provides an excellent overview of the key questions
raised by consumers as they become
aware of GM foods... [The film] draws questions to critical attention about
food production that need more public debate."

Film Review by Thomas J. Hoban,
Nature Biotechnology Magazine,
March 2005, Volume 23 No. 3
"If you eat food, you need to see The
Future of Food..."
--- Newstarget.com
"This stylish film is not just for
food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want
to see:
Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds, collectively wreaking havoc
on American farmers and our agricultural neighbors around the world.
In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call to action."
