Utdrag:
"Since the Green Revolution, US agribusiness and financial institutions like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have sought to hook farmers and nation states on corporate seeds and proprietary inputs as well as loans to construct the type of agri infrastructure that chemical-intensive farming requires.
Monsanto-Bayer and other agribusiness concerns have since the 1990s been attempting to further consolidate their grip on global agriculture and farmers’ corporate dependency with the rollout of genetically engineered seeds, commonly known as GMOs (genetically modified organisms).
The industry wants its new techniques to be unregulated, thereby making gene-edited GMOs faster to develop, more profitable and hidden from consumers when purchasing items in stores. At the same time, the costly herbicide treadmill will be reinforced for farmers.
Bill Gates and his corporate cronies seek to gain full control over the global food system.
Smallholder peasant farming is to be eradicated as the big-tech giants and agribusiness impose lab-grown food, GM seeds, genetically engineered soil microbes, data harvesting tools and drones and other ‘disruptive’ technologies. We could see farmerless industrial-scale farms being manned by driverless machines, monitored by drones and doused with chemicals to produce commodity crops from patented GM seeds for industrial ‘biomatter’ to be processed and constituted into something resembling food.
The displacement of a food-producing peasantry (and the subsequent destruction of rural communities and local food security) was something the Gates Foundation once called for and cynically termed “land mobility”. Technocratic meddling has already destroyed or undermined agrarian ecosystems that draw on centuries of traditional knowledge and are increasingly recognised as valid approaches to secure food security, as outlined in Food Security and Traditional Knowledge in India in the Journal of South Asian Studies, for instance.
If Gates and the global mega-corporations have their way, we will see the entire food system being controlled by data platforms, private equity firms and e-commerce giants, putting the food security (and livelihoods) of billions at the mercy of AI-controlled farming systems".
Kommentar:
Den globale storkapitalen vil ha full kontroll på produksjon, distribusjon, salg og pris på mat. Storkapitalen kjøper opp jord i en rasende fart verden over. De vil legge ned småbruk og middelstore bruk, og erstatte det med enorme industribruk som bruker GMO patenterte vekster. Dette vil drive vekk millioner av småbønder fra gårdene sine verden over, og i storbyene er det ingenting for landsens folk, de drives fra gårdene sine og over i elendighet.
Siden jordbruk er det som opprettholder bosetting i rurale strøk og provinser i de store landene, som for eksempel India, Argentina, Brasil og store deler av Afrika, blir landsbygda avfolket som storkapitalen vil og som Agenda 2030 beskriver. Bare i EU eier 4% over 50% av dyrket mark allerede, siden EU tillater at utenlandsk kapital kan kjøpe dyrket mark i EU-land.
