The Global Banquet: The Politics of Food reveals the profound 
negative impact of globalization on our food system. Taking 
examples from all over the world this video makes "difficult" issues 
understandable to the non-specialist, by exposing the underlying 
myths that hunger is the result of scarcity, that small countries 
simply can't feed themselves, and that only market driven, 
chemically based, industrial agriculture can feed the world, how 
Agri-business is squeezing out small farmers and how trade 
liberalization, by allowing mass produced, low-cost food exports to 
developing countries is destroying peoples' ability to feed 
themselves the links between food security and social 
development, and how women, particularly, are affected, the 
altering and patenting of life forms, factory farming, and the 
degradation of the environment. The video examines the ethical 
questions at the heart of the globalization debate and shows what 
farmers, laborers, environmentalists, animal rights activists, church 
groups and students, here and in the developing world, are doing to 
address the situation.
