\'Dan Jason is active in food
politics, being an outspoken
opponent of genetically
modified seeds, patents on
living organisms, and
industrial agriculture in
general. He frequently gives
lectures at environmental and
horticultural events in
British Columbia.

In this 75 minute production,
filmmaker, Jocelyn Demers
meets Dan Jason on Salt Spring
Island, Canada's west coast.
Dan is an organic gardener
with a fantastic selection of
seeds, vegetables, grains,
medicinal plants and flowers.
He is also the head of the
grassroots organization called
the Seed and Plant Sanctuary
for Canada, a network of
Canadian gardeners who are
preserving as much plant
diversity as is possible. Mr.
Jason has been a long time
critic of the non-organic food
system in North America.
Jocelyn Demers explores Dan's
garden and seed world and
investigates what other
experts from the agriculture
milieu think about Dan's
observations.

GARDENS OF DESTINY
investigates many important
issues related to pollution
and health. These include: How
humans have died because of
genetically modified plants,
the resilience that results in
insects and pests because
pesticides are utilized in
agriculture; and why some
countries have environmental
courts of justice. The film
also reveals how a major food
crisis was created because of
mono crops due to pressure
from the World Bank.
Additionally, it examines how
organic food has proven to be
protective against cancer.\'
