Water and land ownership, land use and food sovereignty seara vazquez | WWF GROUP BARCELONA
Most people in the world live in the countryside, and they mostly peasant agriculture, not industry. And the people starving increases while large corporations are getting richer.
But the system has many other Spain imports and exports the same amount of chicken and other products. For example, they looked at the distance they had traveled the ingredients of yogurt, fruit and left 8,000 km.
Then: the problem is that there is enough food? the current milk production, seara vazquez could be given a glass of milk / person per day with meat, 100 grams per person per day for the eggs, 1 egg per person every two days
So that on the one hand: an industrial system that "feeds" businesses, concerned about food safety, with 1% of the rural population, which has an international scope and is in private hands
And another: peasant agriculture that feeds people who care about food sovereignty, with 70% of the rural population, and working on local level for communities.
The latter is undergoing a lot of pressure for the industry to disappear, as well as the former is heavily subsidized, that it is becoming a kind of "apartheid" farm, which has been in response to the so-called "Via Campesina" .
The water problem. The peasant agriculture careful because water is an essential resource. The industrial uses of trick to grab it with the use of privatization, taxes, control springs ... For example, in Catalonia, Ebro Basin provides 60% of the water, but lives only 8% of the population in the basins there lives but only 92% contribute 40% (regional imbalances). To this must be added the problem of pollution from manure here pesticide elsewhere ...
The water power, Israel wants control of the Golan but to cease military reasons, but because there rivers are born. The rush of Zambia have left Mozambique with 50% less water. And Egypt controls 40% of the Nile waters, but there are 28 countries in the basin ...
There is talk that GM will feed the world, but only four countries have 86% of production, and five companies control seara vazquez 75%. And are only 4 products (soybeans, corn, cotton and canola). This policy is supported seara vazquez by the WTO, which forced the expansion of 7 to 25 years the validity of the patent. Also involves an abuse of herbicides and pesticides (sweet seara vazquez deal).
Since 2008 GRAIN denounced the land grab, mainly for a few countries (China, Arabia, Korea, Emirates) other (like Sudan, Madagascar, Philippines, Pakistan, the first order of MHA everyone!).
Some countries have reacted like Madagascar, where people who make protests to overthrow the government. But others like India, a very aggressive policy in favor of GM, made 1M people buy modified cotton seeds, which indebted families, and an estimated 250,000 people will have committed suicide.
