The Story of a Canadian Farmer’s Fight to Defend the Rights of Farmers and the Future of Seeds, @DemocracyNow.org. I heard an interview on the radio with this remarkable man and found his documentary, posted here, a film by Bertram Verhaag-Now.
The story that begins as a farmer’s fight with a multinational corporation for his right to farm his land uncontaminated by genetically modified neighboring seed and ends with questions for all mankind —
- who is preserving seed for future generations?
- once genetic modifications enter the environment does it forever alter our food sources?
- once terminator seeds enter the environment what will prevent the unintended contamination and ultimate destruction of other species?
- how do you know if you’re eating genetically modified food?
- how does the funding of our country’s land grant universities by these multinational agricultural corporations impact the critical research of our nation’s food supply?
- who owns life?
