Bitter Seeds, a documentary film made by Micha Peled will be shown at the Monroe County Public Library on January 5th 2012 at 1:30pm, sponsored by the Center for Sustainable living. We will show the film and have a discussion afterwards led by Marti Crouch, an expert on biotechnology. Light refreshments will be provided.
Bitter Seeds: Biotechnology is changing the way farming is done all over the world. Advocates believe the “New Green Revolution” is the only way to provide sufficient food for the world's growing population while opponents raise environmental concerns and fear that GMOs drive small-scale farmers off the land. Bitter Seeds explores the controversy — from a village in India that uses genetically modified seeds to U.S. government agencies that promote them.
