Jan 21, 2016License to Farm documentary now available online
License to Farm, a documentary on how sustainability, regulation and food safety affect farmers, is now available online. The documentary “explores the truth behind common misconceptions of agriculture production in Canada, while empowering farmers to stand up and advocate for their social license to farm,” according to the film’s website.
Farmers, researchers, educators and industry experts give their take on the issue of genetically modified foods in the 30-minute documentary.
The documentary was produced with investments from SaskCanola, Growing Forward2, the Canada government, and the Saskatchewan government.
“Growing concern over consumer fear and mistrust of the food system, increasingly limiting government regulations, and the danger of choice becoming limited in production methods sparked the need for this film among SaskCanola stakeholders,” SaskCanola said on its website.
