Premiere of "Hijacked Future" - a film about seeds, climate change, and the future of agriculture Sat Mar 22, 2008, Global TV

Airing March 22 on Global Television, Hijacked Future warns that our current agricultural system is unsustainable - one that will be unable to support us and our grandchildren in the future. It's an increasingly fragile system that literally runs on oil – from fertilizers and pesticides, to the trucks and planes that transport food – and is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. And the source of our food – seeds – is being hijacked by a handful of corporations from the farmers who have for millennia, grown and saved them.
