Grow-ing disaster    

Public ISBD Titre : Grow-ing disaster : the Fortune 500 goes farming Type de document : document électronique Editeur : GRAIN Année de publication : January 2017 Importance : 14 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Industrie alimentaire  Agrobusiness  Pays en développement  Entreprises multinationales Résumé : Some of the world's largest food companies are rolling out a programme called Grow, promising to apply “market-based solutions” to poverty, food insecurity and climate change. Under a logic of public-private partnership, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Monsanto and other companies are fostering close ties with governments in order to increase their control over markets and supply chains. While claiming to promote food security and benefit small farmers, Grow's focus on a few high-value commodities (potatoes, maize, coffee, palm oil, etc.) exposes the programme’s real objective: to expand the production of a handful of products to profit a handful of corporations. The impacts on communities, biodiversity, nutrition and the climate are potentially disastrous.
