The Future of Food
This is a documentary about genetic patenting, the loss of plant diversity, labeling genetically engineered food, and the relationship between farmers and multi-national corporations like Monsanto. Among other evidence, farmers getting sued for using their seed is a strong indicator that the state of patent rights is in desperate need of reform. Monsanto doesn’t just own patents on genes, they own patents on hundreds of entire plants that aren’t even genetically engineered.

eventually, food will be grown in tall buildings and we’ll probably eat bug protein.
