The largely unknown potential danger to human health and the environmental health of our planet posed by the planned introduction of genetically engineered trees is explored in "Silent Forest." Narrated by Dr. David Suzuki, the film lays out, in compelling detail, the dangers of open-air plantations of these untested man-made trees. And the added problem of intellectual property rights. "A Silent Forest" is a wake-up call to the dangers of genetic engineering of trees and the impact it could have on all of us.

Devinder Sharma, world-renowned food policy expert, spends a lot of time thinking and writing about how agriculture impacts climate change and how genetically modified foods impact everyone. He spoke to us about the ways the West and developing nations can learn from the example of India's "Green Revolution" in farming and the problems that have sprung up in its wake. Climate action should go hand in hand with food policy. Thanks to Greenpeace Delhi for the video in this segment.
