What The Future of Food Is About
Deborah Koons Garcia's 2004 documentary is about genetically engineered food reaching American shelves and going unlabelled. Its real interest is less the laboratory than ownership: the patenting of seed, the lawsuits that follow, and where the small farmer stands inside that arrangement. The case of the Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser against Monsanto is one of the film's central examples; it ended five to four in the company's favour at the Canadian Supreme Court. The documentary is openly one-sided, which is also the shared verdict of reviewers. The argument about seed patents and the argument about food safety stand on separate ground, and the film puts them in the same bag.
