The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for sustainable development informs government policies to restrict farming and transform the food systems in different parts of the world, said Alex Newman, an award-winning international journalist who has covered this issue for over a decade.
The 2030 Agenda is a plan of action devised by the United Nations (U.N.) to achieve 17 sustainable development goals (SDG). The goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development were adopted by all UN member states in 2015.
Then-Secretary General of the U.N. Ban Ki-moon called the 2030 Agenda “the global declaration of interdependence,” (pdf) Newman said in a recent interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program.
“In my opinion, [it] was a direct swipe at our Declaration of Independence … So instead of being independent nations, we will all be now interdependent.”
The 2030 Agenda “covers every element of human life, every element of the economy,” including global wealth redistribution not only within the nations but also among the nations, Newman commented. The Agenda “specifically says that we need to change the way that we consume and produce goods,” he added.
Goal number two on the 2030 Agenda deals specifically with food, Newman said.
In September 2021, the U.N. held the Food Systems Summit, which emphasized the need “to leverage the power of food systems” for the purpose of achieving all 17 sustainable development goals by 2030, according to a U.N. statement.
“Everyone, everywhere, must take action and work together to transform the way the world produces, consumes, and thinks about food,” the statement said.
Taking Over Farmland..
The sustainable development agenda emerged in the 1970s when the United Nations tried to define it at a conference in Vancouver, Canada, in 1976. Newman said.
The conference, which was the first U.N. Conference on Human Settlements known as Habitat I, adopted the Vancouver Declaration (pdf), a report that provided recommendations for U.N. member states.
Newman quoted an excerpt from this report: “Land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.”
Newman said that, in his view, the U.N. ultimately wants to get rid of private land ownership. “We see this all over the world. This is not just happening in the Netherlands.”
He thinks that a war is taking place against farmers and ranchers, especially those who are independent or those who are not part of the system. “They want to remove small farmers, even medium farmers, from their land, and they want to bring it all under the control of these—I think there’s no other term to describe it—fascistic public-private partnerships.”
Newman noted some examples to illustrate his opinion: The Chinese regime forces peasants to move to megacities, farmers are killed in South Africa, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States proposed a new rule that could bankrupt small and medium farmers.
....
In March 2022, the SEC proposed a regulation that “would mandate publicly traded companies to report on their carbon emissions and other climate-related information,” as well as report similar information from any companies with which they do business, according to an SEC statement.
As a consequence, all companies in the business supply chain of a publicly traded entity would have to report their carbon emission and climate-related data.
U.S. Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.) led 30 lawmakers to urge SEC to repeal its proposal, calling it a “regulatory overreach.”
”Imposing regulatory overreach on farmers and ranchers falls outside of the SEC’s congressionally provided authority,” the senators said in a statement. “This substantial reporting requirement would significantly burden small, family-owned farms.”
The American Farm Bureau Federation said in a statement that the proposed rule could create “substantial costs” for farmers because they do not have teams of compliance officers or attorneys like large corporations. Moreover, it may push out of business small and medium-sized farmers and force food-processing companies to look for agricultural raw products outside of the United States, the statement asserted.
Centralizing Food Supply..
....
“If you control the food supply, you control everything,” Newman said.
“One of the things that the communists loved to do is create scarcity and create dependents. As long as you have independent people who are able to take care of themselves, there really is no need for the government to run your life and to control everything that you do,” Newman said.
“Americans are good examples,” Newman continued. “As long as the food production is widely diffused, and it’s in the hands of independent producers, it becomes very difficult to get people to bend to your will.”
The whole idea of using food as a weapon has been a hallmark of communist regimes for 100 years, Newman explained. “It’s also been a hallmark of the very same people who are openly promoting the U.N. Agenda 2030, the sustainable development goals, and even the World Economic Forum.”
Those who contrived “the controlled demolition of our food supply … want to completely restructure it,” in order to gain total centralized control of that because it gives them absolute power over everybody under their jurisdiction, Newman said.
For example, the Chinese regime and the mega-corporations formed a public-private partnership to centralize control of the food supply, Newman said.
It’s similar to what occurred in Nazi Germany, where on paper private companies own the business and ostensibly manage their businesses, but, ultimately, the private companies will be taking their orders from the government, Newman explained.
In the United States, the ESG metrics are used to “hijack control of the business sector, of the individual companies, and put them at the service of the goals of what I call the predator class—the people behind the World Economic Forum, behind the United Nations,” Newman said. (ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance criteria that are used to evaluate companies on how compliant they are with sustainability.)
The food supply centralization is just one component of their agenda, but it is a very critical one, which along with energy and other things, allows them to control humanity, he added.
World Economic Forum Involvement..
In January 2021, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the government of the Netherlands launched a new initiative called Food Innovation Hub, according to a WEF statement. The Hub, joined by several public and private sector partners, is a key platform that will use technology and innovations for food systems transformation, the statement said.
The Food Innovation Hub secured “multiyear funding “ from the Netherlands’ government and established its Global Coordinating Secretariat that would coordinate the efforts of the regional food hubs as well as align with global food processes and initiatives such as the UN Food Systems Summit, the statement read.
The global food Secretariat would be located in Wageningen, Netherlands, at the heart of the Dutch agrifood ecosystem, and would direct the development of global, regional Food Innovation Hubs, according to the “Invest in Holland” website.
“The work of these regional hubs is already underway, with more than 20 organizations leading the initiative across Africa, ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations], Colombia, and India, and the European hub,” the website said.
Ramon Laguarta, CEO of PepsiCo, said in the WEF statement: “Food is one of the main levers we can pull to improve environmental and societal health. With the right investment, innovation, and robust collaboration, agriculture could become the world’s first sector to become carbon negative. … Unlocking this potential will take ambitious multi-stakeholder, pre-competitive collaborations to transform the food system—exactly what these Hubs are designed to cultivate.”
Among the solutions advocated by the WEF to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions is replacing livestock-derived foods with alternative forms of protein, such as insects, and lab-cultured proteins, according to a 2019 white paper (pdf) commissioned by the WEF.
In response to this recommendation, several indoor agriculture start-ups have emerged, including Ÿnsect, “the first fully automated vertical insect farm in the world, able to produce 100,000 tons of insect products a year,” a WEF report said.
In March, France-based Ÿnsect acquired Jord Producers, a U.S. mealworm manufacturer, to expand its operations in the United States by entering the American chicken feed market, said a company statement.
How People Can Stop Food Takeover
....
If people want to prevent food supply from being used as a tool to control them, they need to find alternative sources of food locally, Newman said. “You need to have a relationship with the local farmers in your community, get to the local farmers market, deal with the local farmers, come up with some agreement,” such as getting delivery of fresh, seasonal produce from the local farms for 100 bucks a week, he said.
“We need to really start providing an alternative economic structure, because if we let them get control of the entire food supply, I guarantee you, it will be used as a weapon to take your freedom, to get you to do things you otherwise wouldn’t want to do, to undermine the sovereignty of your nation, whether you’re in the United States or another country, and ultimately to dispossess people of their private land and of their freedom.”
“If you have agricultural land, do not sell out to these people. They’re trying to bribe the farmers to leave their land.”
What I figure is, in these Western countries like the USA, we will likely still be able to survive and get enough to eat, even if just barely.
But we won’t be food exporters anymore, meaning millions more people in the Third World and other non-Western countries will simply starve to death. Klaus Schwab’s hands will be dripping with blood.

That, in a nutshell. The devil is in the details, and I do mean The Devil.
Assuming they don’t manage in the process to bring our entire economy crashing in flames, to where even if food can be produced, it cannot be distributed and sold.
And they are doing a bang-up job of bringing us down in flames.
“And they are doing a bang-up job of bringing us down in flames”.
They certainly are. 24/7 attacks coming from every direction.
The US is a huge, complex country but no country could survive for long under this kind of merciless deluge.
I hate to say it, but the midterms won’t mean a damned thing.
It truly IS this simple. Hard to implement, but it’s been done for centuries in the Communist & Totalitarian parts of the world:
“If you control the food supply, you control everything,” Newman said.
“One of the things that the communists loved to do is create scarcity and create dependents. As long as you have independent people who are able to take care of themselves, there really is no need for the government to run your life and to control everything that you do,” Newman said.

Globalists Are Taking Over the Food System — It’s Part of Their Plan to Control You

I know. I am trying to get myself insinuated into local politics and the election process in a blue state that I have zero change of having any impact on, and even entering the process makes me feel as if I am sticking my ungloved hand into a toilet clogged with several days of human waste, I detest it that much.
But I have to do something. Even to just try to say that I did.
Otherwise all this will make me as batsh*t crazy as it has made our enemies.
I can understand how you fee. because I have felt that way and still do to a large extent. We are facing the most frustrating, helpless feeling times.
We must choose our battles carefully to insure the greatest positive effect.
Very good post.
Exactly right.
And, add in the fear mechanism.
Commie/totalitarian regimes must instill fear, to get the citizens to comply.
God bless you.
Seriously....I mean this. May He bless, guide and protect your every step.
Keeping our focus on Him, will bring the peace and clarity needed, for you/each of us to do this task.
“These people are going to be responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of people .
Collectivist sons of bitches.
Totally unaccountable. They will never be called to account for it. And it is going to happen.
It is all part of the plan. But try explaining it to libs or to the ignorant (but, I repeat myself). You become a conspiracy theorist and a whacko”.
Here is an attempt to explain to out liberal “friends”.
I am trying to get closer to God. This has not been an easy journey for me, and I think anger is one of the things that I have trouble controlling. I have always been a bit of a hot-head, and one of the things I might do as part of my Republican Town Committee is set up a tent thingie with a sign:
“I am a Conservative. Ask me why.”
People who are curious about Evil Conservatives might ask, most won’t. Some might troll me, but...I can tell the difference. I figure, if nothing else, it will be a tool to measure how far I have to go.
Cultured Meat- one company has the production cost for chicken breast down to $1.70/lb. Really only good for nuggets and patties because they can't duplicate muscle texture so it's more like the chopped and formed products.
Gene-Edited Veggies grown indoors in vertical farms using AI and robotics.
The manufacture of all that high tech equipment and the chemicals used sure does look "sustainable". Same thing as wind turbines, solar panels and a gazillion batteries. It's all a transfer of wealth and control to a certain group of people.
All these things have something in common. They can all be patented. What kind of food is patented right now? RoundUp ready corn/soy. Who owns it? Big Pharma since Bayer bought Monsanto. How much of the market do they control? 80% iirc.(quick search says 90% in 2003) All the other high tech produced food is being funded by various investors including asset managers.

They're also working on gene-edited livestock and you just know farmers will jump on board if they can make a little more money(to start with), just like they did with roundup ready corn.
That means techies, pharma and financier types will own almost all food production and all of them are globalist/futurist/progressive/technocrat types.
The future will be some kind of mix of Idiocracy, Elysium, Hunger Games and some other dystopian nightmares like Black Mirror episodes if they have their way.
RoundUp is failing. There are more roundup resistant weeds every year and some farmers are getting away from it. The seed's more expensive and now they're having to mechanically cultivate to knock down weeds again like pre-roundup days.

Meant to ping you on that but forgot the “Tilted” part of the username.
One of the consistent needs expressed by those seeking to transform the food system is a shared narrative to motivate and sustain the needed changes in the system. This narrative and messaging guide focuses on the long-term food system transformation while responding to the evolving circumstances presented by the pandemic, economic downturn, and racial justice reckoning
Now this "racial justice reckoning" thing just makes my little white arse a bit paranoid. Not one white face in their pdf report which is funny because I'm pretty sure the Rockefellers are pasty white. https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Food-System-Transformation-Messaging-Guide_Feb-2021.pdf
So plants adapted to resist Round up.
Who ever would have imagined that?
It's pretty much a EU thing but member states agreed on it. Citizens don't get much of a say. Natura 2000
Natura 2000 protects 27,312 sites with terrestrial area 787,606 km2 (around 18 percent of land of the EU countries) and marine area 360,350 km2 in 2017,[4]
Almost 20% of land is a lot considering most EU countries aren't vast spaces to begin with.
