Marie-Monique Robin : Les moissons du futur




Après Le monde selon Monsanto et Notre poison quotidien, voici le troisième numéro de la trilogie de Marie-Monique Robin. Les moissons du futur est une enquête résolument optimiste sur les remèdes possibles à la crise alimentaire qui touche la planète. Une enquête menée sur quatre continents dans lequel elle montre que l'agro écologie peut nourrir le monde. Les moissons du futur sont dans la droite ligne des précédents documentaires de Marie-Monique Robin. Elle démonte ici les arguments de l'industrie agroalimentaire pour qui il n'y a pas d'alternative aux pesticides et qui prétend que l'agriculture bio entraînerait une baisse de la production de 40 % et une augmentation des prix de 50 %. Peu avant de débuter son enquête, Marie-Monique Robin avait rencontré à Genève Olivier de Schutter, le rapporteur spécial pour le droit à l'alimentation des Nations Unies, qui dit exactement le contraire. Avec ce film, elle entend donc sortir du discours dominant qui prétend que si on sort de l'industrie agroalimentaire c'est la famine assurée. Elle va montrer au contraire que l'agro écologie permettrait de nourrir la planète. Tout en pointant les raisons qui expliquent qu'aujourd'hui encore un sixième de l'humanité ne mange pas à sa faim, cette investigation démontre que rien n'est inéluctable. Du Mexique au Japon, en passant par le Malawi, le Kenya, le Sénégal, les états Unis et plusieurs pays européens, Marie-Monique Robin a filmé des expériences d'agriculture familiale et biologique efficaces d'un point de vue agronomique, économique et écologique. Elle montre que " l'on peut faire autrement " pour résoudre la question alimentaire en respectant l'environnement et les ressources naturelles, à condition de revoir de fond en comble le système de distribution des aliments et de redonner aux paysans un rôle clé dans cette évolution indispensable à l'avenir de l'humanité.

Genetic Roulette : The Gamble of Our Lives


GeneticRoulette

Are you and your family on the wrong side of a bet?

When the US government ignored repeated warnings by its own scientists and allowed untested genetically modified (GM) crops into our environment and food supply, it was a gamble of unprecedented proportions. The health of all living things and all future generations were put at risk by an infant technology.

After two decades, physicians and scientists have uncovered a grave trend. The same serious health problems found in lab animals, livestock, and pets that have been fed GM foods are now on the rise in the US population. And when people and animals stop eating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), their health improves.

This seminal documentary provides compelling evidence to help explain the deteriorating health of Americans, especially among children, and offers a recipe for protecting ourselves and our future.

Documental : ¿Qué comemos hoy? (agricultura ecologica e intensiva)



La nueva agricultura se realiza en grandes edificios tecnológicos con investigación en semillas, el objetivo es crear fruta con más peso y más atractiva en apariencia.
La agricultura intensiva ofrece frutas y hortalizas todo el año independiente de su hábitat y clima natural.
Los pollos convencionales viven unos 50 días. Son sacrificados con 2.5 kgs. y va cambiando su fisiología, el tamaño de las patas se ha recortado 6 cms. y tiene más partes nobles (pechuga).
Los huevos pasan 21 días incubando en máquinas de calor y son inyectados con vacunas y antibióticos para reducir la mortandad.
La crianza de peces en piscifactoria es el sector que más ha crecido en los últimos 10 años, estos peces obtienen un peso de 250- 300 grs, comen continuamente (100% hembras).
Hay crianza de peces en piscifactoria ecológicas, tardan 6 meses más en llegar a 250-300 grs., no están comiendo continuamente, hay mitad machos mitad hembras, tienen la misma longitud que la convencional pero menos grasa, el pez convencional tiene más grasa (sobrepeso) y las vísceras son más pesadas, y no se comen.
El objetivo del tomate de exportación es lograr que pueda durar entre 25-30 días en el estante del supermercado aunque sea incomible.
La dicotomía del agricultor es entre “un cuidador de la tierra” o un “ industrial de la producción”.

Americans' right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent ac-tion, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why.

Filmmaker Kristin Canty's quest to find healthy food for her four children turned into an educational journey to discover why access to these foods was being threatened. What she found were policies that favor agribusiness and factory farms over small family-operated farms selling fresh foods to their communities. Instead of focusing on the source of food safety problems — most often the industrial food chain — policymakers and regulators implement and enforce solutions that target and often drive out of business small farms that have proven themselves more than capable of producing safe, healthy food, but buckle under the crushing weight of government regulations and excessive enforcement actions.

Farmageddon highlights the urgency of food freedom, encouraging farmers and consumers alike to take action to preserve individuals' rights to access food of their choice and farmers' rights to produce these foods safely and free from unreasona-bly burdensome regulations. The film serves to put policymakers and regulators on notice that there is a growing movement of people aware that their freedom to choose the foods they want is in danger, a movement that is taking action with its dollars and its voting power to protect and preserve the dwindling number of family farms that are struggling to survive.
