A free screening of the documentary The Future of Food will be held on Monday, September 15 at 7 p.m. at the Normal Theater in Normal. The event is sponsored by Illinois State University's Campus Dining Services and Green Team to raise awareness about the social and environmental benefits of local foods.
The film examines the pervasiveness of genetically engineered foods and the market and political forces exerted by multinational corporations. A panel discussion by community members involved in creating a viable local foods system in Central Illinois will follow the film. For more information on the film visit www.thefutureoffood.com
The event is supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Program.
