““We want open work permits so workers could have the chance to move to another farm or another job,” Gatica said. “There is no reason the government shouldn’t want to do that. One change would mean they will stop allowing modern day slavery. Because now, work permits are the chains that tie workers to abusive employers.””

The Reporters' Collective - Adani Group complained against farm law. Gov’t diluted it to allow hoarding by corporates

Adani Group complained against farm law. Gov’t diluted it to allow hoarding by corporates

Before a Niti Aayog task force on farmers’ income, the conglomerate advocated to remove restrictions on corporates hoarding agricultural commodities.

To me, the selection of MacCaulay was the liberals scraping the bottom of the barrel to reappoint an ineffective minister, indicating that they intend to continue allowing agribusiness run the ministry.

@Landcombatmissiles
And I have more questions...
Somebody knows the benefits for Russia? (and Turkiye)
I mean, probably there was some money involved, no?
Or was it more international politics with no direct monetary gains?

And for Ukraine: I do not know enough about how the farming structure in the Ukraine. My guess would be that most of the exported grains were produced by very large farming corporations in the hands of oligarchs. So, who benefitted from this? (At least, some taxes for the Ukrainian government, and some trickle down over the involved workers).
Somebody has more in-depth informatio?

I've always been a bit ambivalent about foods. Some taste better, all are more expensive and often hard to find. The health benefits for the planet are well documented but there is a buddy of opinion that there is no difference for the consumers health.

Then I discovered latest horror, systematic spraying with roundup to speed up crop drying times!!!!

The primary drivers of in the — and other biomes in such as the and the — are and consumption.

A survey released by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) showed that pastures occupied 75% of the deforested area on public lands in the Amazon. Other causes of deforestation include the construction of new highways, logging roads, dams, and mines.

The idea of solving hunger on the African continent with GM (genetically modified) crops is terribly flawed.

However, usually (and this article is no exception) a real analysis about the socio-economic reasons for hunger is totally absent.

There are so many things to say:

* Hunger is currently not a problem of production, but of *distribution and access*.

* Food security (there is enough food on the market) is not the same as food sovereignity (th provision of food is in the hands of local comminities, resulting in a resilient system).

* GM crops are developed mainly by profit-driven corporations. These corporations have neither an interest nor an incentive to help the poor. In the best case, GM crops are developed by public institutions, but also then ideology and institutions prevent real transdiscipliniary cooperation with small-scale farmers.

* Subsidized (publicly funded scientific innovation is also a subsidy!) industrial agriculture destroys soils, water, the climate and biodiversity. The social and environmental costs are then externalized to all of us. Small-scalle farmers, the backbone of food provision, especially for the rural poor in the global south (including themselves) get outcompeted and fall into poverty.

* GM crops are industrial hybrid crops. Maybe the researchers achieve to insert one gene to resolve a specific problem. But the crop will still require large inputs of synthetic fertilizer or pesticides. Additionally, until now, seeds from GM crops cannot be multiplied and resown by the farmers, increasing their dependency on companies, markets and fossil fuels.
