| Description: |
This video is both provocative and timely in exploring the politics of global food security which is threatened by the policies and practices of giant international food producers, trade and financial institutions and governments. The video helps viewers understand the destructive practices of food corporations and how these corporations control the world's food system. It also examines trade policies, the destruction of family farms, and the poverty of peasant farmers in developing nations. While the problem of food security is critical, disaster is not inevitable. There is a growing collaborative movement of many organizations and individuals, including faith based groups, to address and change practices and beliefs that lead to unfair and unjust politics of food. Produced by Maryknoll World Productions, this video comes with a study guide to facilitate group discussion. |
