“The future of the planet depends not so much on military power nor on capital speculation but on each one of us making daily food choices that affect global exchange or enclosure of biodiversity—our collective nourishment, our wealth,” Thompson explains”
I don’t care about feeding an ungrateful world. Nor do i care about the “collective nourishment” (socialist key word)
of the ungrateful world either.
We have pumped billions of dollars of food into africa and that collective has become even worse.
I agree the world is ungrateful to us no matter how much we give them. That’s not the issue - the issue is that once seeds are patented by these corporations, you can’t grow them as crops unless you pay them a royalty. Worse, not only can YOU not grow them, the farmers can’t grow them. It gives one company a worldwide monopoly over all farming.
