BWFS: Food Evolution

  • The International Pavilion Building 50A, Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, AZ 86011 USA (map)

Food Evolution is the first film of our annual Better World Film Series.

Facebook Event

Prepare for the Oct 23rd debate on GMOs by watching some documentaries on the subject! This is one of two takes we will be showing on GMOs.

". . . Food Evolution is set amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by fear, distrust and confusion: the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves, to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, Food Evolution wrestles with the emotions and the evidence driving one of the most heated arguments of our time."

Food Evolution shows how easily misinformation, confusion and fear can overwhelm objective analysis. How do we ensure that our food supply is safe, and that everyone has enough to eat? How do we feed the world while also protecting the planet? Has genetic engineering increased or decreased pesticide use? Are GMO foods bad for your health? And, most importantly, what data, evidence and sources are we using to approach these important questions?

Hosted by the NAU Green Jacks & Green NAU
