Hawai'i farmers, teachers, legal and medical experts and community activists share their perspectives on GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), the genetic engineering of crops and the patenting of life forms.

Hawai'i farmers, teachers, legal and medical experts and community activists share their perspectives on GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms), the genetic engineering of crops and the patenting of life forms. "Hawai'i has been called the GMO testing capitol of the world because we have had more than 2,000 field tests of experimental genetically-engineered crops in more than 6,000 locations around our small state," says Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff. "And this is more than any other place in the world." Earthjustice has won lawsuits in federal and state courts challenging the introduction of these experimental crops in the islands without first assessing environmental and human health impacts. Islands at Risk looks at possible health impacts from exposure to biopharmaceutical crops, both in humans and endangered species. Family farmers express their concern over the genetic contamination of regular food crops such as papaya, taro, coffee and corn. Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) recount their attempts to prevent the patenting of taro, honored as an ancestor, and assert their right to protect the biodiversity of their lands, crucial to health and survival. The video also addresses the impact of genetic engineering on food security and the world's future ability to feed itself. Produced for Earthjustice. Featuring Paul Achitoff, Walter Ritte, Chris Kobayashi, Dr. Lorrin Pang, Nancy Redfeather, Isaac Moriwake, Melanie Bondera, Mililani Trask, Mark Query, Kalaniua Ritte, Hanohano Naehu, Una Greenaway, Jerry Konanui, Elisha Goodman, Eloise Engman, and Jeri Di Pietro.

As the earth’s population grows to 9 billion people, the amount of resources needed to produce enough food continues to rise. With food production taking over an estimated 50% of the earth’s surface, it’s necessary to question the sustainability of the food production and consumption practices worldwide. What can governments, corporations and farmers do to ensure that earth’s resources will continue to support food production in the future? As climate change impacts the resilience of subsistence farmers, what can be done to increase food security while decreasing environmental impact? It’s important to study environmental issues and food systems holistically as we try to answer these questions. Show more Show less

Sewage sludge - tons of industrial and municipal sludge is spread each year on arable land. The food that we eat is thus produced on land fertilized by digester sludge containing dangerous substances. The consequences have been disastrous: death, diseases and heavy metal poisoning. In meetings with victims from Canada, United States, Switzerland and France, including farmers and citizens who denounce this practice, and scientists and government officials, we get a very clear picture from the filmmaker on the enormity of the problem. A problem he feels must be brought before the public. Show more Show less

Forget GM crops, the mucuna bean provides a real alternative for feeding the world's population. Julian Pettifer travels through Guatemala, Honduras and Brazil revealing the powerful properties of the little bean which protects against soil erosion and allows farmers to triple their yield without recourse to fertiliser or pesticides. The results have already been amazing - the halting of slash and burn policies, reverse migration from city to country, and the retention of carbon in the soil acting as a cushion against global warming. The mucuna is a truly magic bean. Show more Show less
