Genetically Modified Food | Retro Report
This 11-minute video explores how the rise of genetically modified foods has given rise to fears about food safety while transforming agricultural production processes. Focusing on the rise and fall of the genetically modified tomato, the video shows students how GMO food products have emerged as a convenience to many farmers, and a source of confusion for many consumers. Useful for lessons focused on the growth of GMO agriculture, the video helps students see the complexities of this new approach to agriculture, and sets up a classroom discussion on the costs and benefits that GMOs bring to food and farming.
