Newer documentary about food supply?

I need something more modern than the 20 year old documentary’s we’ve been using. Talking about food supply, land management, bees, etc. I’d love if they were on DVD or Disney because district blocks everything else but there are workarounds. Any suggestions?

A few years old, but PBS America Revealed: Food Machine is really good. I watch on Youtube

Food, Inc 2 came out last year. I haven't watched it yet, but it may fit what you are looking for.

I know this is old now, but I still show the first Food, Inc in my AP Env Science classes... it is remarkably still relevant today.

Cowspiracy specifically talks about dairy & farm food production.

I really liked that one because it starts with the perceived impacts that a person might try to make to reduce their environmental impact, but the unseen choices are actually a much larger impact.

HHMI had a documentary about a cameraman who filmed bees in his backyard that came out two or three years ago. It was surprisingly enchanting and interesting.

Disney is blocked bc of copyright at our school 👋

Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but Super Size Me 2 is about transparency in the fast food industry. He tries to build a transparent fast food restaurant that describes in excruciating detail where all of the food products come from. People in line are disgusted by it, but still order it anyway.
