The New Green Giants

MacDonald, Ann-Marie 1958- (narrator). Remerowski, Ted (director). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Narrator: MacDonald, Ann-Marie, 1958-. (Cast).

Summary: The last ten years has seen a phenomenal explosion in the organic food movement as it has moved from niche market to main stream. Today, it is the fastest growing segment of the food industry attracting all of the major food corporations. The New Green Giants looks at a number of these new and old organic corporations and shows how they are managing or in some cases failing to live up to the idealistic dreams first espoused by the back-to-the land folk of the late sixties and early seventies. It also delves into the big questions on every eco-conscious consumer's mind: what does organic actually mean? Are organic foods really pesticide free? How can a consumer know that they are really buying organic food? Is it realistic to think the world can be fed organically?
