Earth Heal – News For An Earth In Transition
26 April 2013
- The UK government’s Department for International Development (DFID) is using the aid budget to tighten the corporate stranglehold over the global food system.
This report reveals how DFID has been using hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money with the express purpose of extending the power of agribusiness over the production of food, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. While this will increase the profits of corporate giants such as Monsanto, Unilever and Syngenta, it threatens to disempower small farmers and rural communities and condemn them to long-term poverty.
