This film — produced by Morgan Spurlock who did the Award-winning production of "Supersize Me!" — has been called a "learned and persuasive"  "must-see documentary."

“There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner table of America, a revolution that is 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.

  THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek 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.”

A bonus segment of the film discusses CSAs (Community-Supported Agriculture) — one of the alternatives to the food crisis and to the production

of locally/regionally grown food.

After the film, Gene Marshall led a discussion of our observations, feelings, reflections, opinions and ideas for our community's approach to today's food solutions.
