What do you do when the agriculture industry in a country or country is not in a position to to feed the Bevökerung? You look for new arable land, easy! But where? Even easier! They are looking for there, expect to find the least resistance, namely in the countries of the Third World! (World Food : Battle for the grain from tomorrow , Focus Online article on the 01/08/2010)
It's not as if there would be no agriculture in developed countries more. No, quite the contrary. We managed of arable land, not according to ecological criteria, but they managed nevertheless. It creates, however, no food, because for the nciht you get enough money. Prices have fallen apart, since we have started to introduce food from third world countries, which are produced there by people who can not afford their own products. They are too expensive!
If the agricultural land in their own country is often quite sufficient to produce the necessary amount of food that feeds the population, but one can see in all peace of mind, how destroyed the small farmers and family farms and evicted from their land. Then come the arable land in the hands of large agricultural companies or even companies and is now on the production of biofuels or other crops, which promise high profits. The whole thing is then sold to voters as the environment! That's not quite that simple, recognizes the one who asks, Where does the corn from the baking, the baker in the morning a delicious bread or rolls, we get every day with our over-sized SUVs from the bakery. Or rice, with which we schlgen the stomach full, without batting an eyelash, while we sit in front of the television and watch telly on the news images of starving people, the supermarkets plunder, because they can not afford the basic food can not! If we then look at our well-filled plates, we saw the rice of the hungry are on our plates. Because the producers would rather sell it to Europe or America, where people can pay more than in the third world countries, where it is produced!
And because agriculture is doomed in the developed countries to die, so unproductive and unprofitable as it is to buy large areas of land in states that have relatively much space, but no clear industrial agriculture. The local peasants are expropriated and expelled from their land. Then run the life of a disenfranchised tenant farmers, which both have to buy the seeds of large foreign corporations (often on credit), and the necessary amounts of fertilizer and herbicides. If they broke, they will be evicted and the country is entirely in the sphere of influence of Western corporations!
We should be clear that this world is now dominated by the interests of such groups that nothing else seems to count as profit. Which one is willing to arrange everything in, because every politician, no matter which party he sits in Parliament, has to think of the time after the policy. Since then, he will not of course to Hartz IV recipients mutate, but express his spoiled ass in a wide soft leather seating, as they stand in heaps in the boardrooms of major corporations. It is what it is not of course with the powerful men (women's because virtually not at all!) Corrupt who control the economy, send the lobbyists with their € GUESS filled in the ministries of the democratically elected governments to "consult" to act! No, it will be them, they crawl in the ass and then looking forward, following a care-and especially non-working, but still best-paid job in any Board!
And because the so- is to open the politicians to the corporations the opportunity, the land and agriculture to shape its vision to industrialise it and if it is possible not as easy as before, as they used to fill the lack of land just (thinking and the "Living in the East ", to which not only Hitler and the Nazi Party, but the industry has longed so much that they ensure the Second World War broke from the fence) to open the political courage of the companies now indulge in the door to the Governments of the States of Third World and thus provides them the opportunity to come to the popular farmland. And the governments there corrupted by the money of the corporations and the millions of "development aid", each year the pockets of the so-called elites in the developing world fill to bursting, barter away the land of their own citizens and let rebellious peasants who defend themselves against the theft of land, together shoot from their own army! This is nothing but the continuation of colonialism in the world with other, more modern means. And that dictatorships are not even necessary. This conduct states that call themselves democratic, or at least have a democratic constitution. Which - we must admit to you, however - their souls, if we can speak at a state at all like this, capitalism, so they have sold to the corporations!
it used to be the imperialist-oriented European States, for "the place in the sun" target - as one in the 19 Century used to say - and everywhere in the world acquired colonies, which they plundered with brutal violence and himmelschreiendem wrong. Countless lives fell victim to the greed of the Europeans. No coincidence was also at that time large companies the main driver of colonialism, they were the sole beneficiaries of the ruthless plundering of resources in the colonies.
Today the new colonization is without the detour over the state, also by large companies, which - to subdue the earth - and following the biblical commandment. And they are just as ruthless and cautious on profit, as it was then already the case. There are no more states to make the policy and have control over the resources of this earth, it is the corporations that dominate the us if we do not stop it!
The Off course, with the industry and the rich oil states, and the big corporations just buy arable land where the people are suffering terrible distress anyway, is really a baseless impertinence. Take the poor countries the only way to feed themselves by developing their agriculture on a sustainable and permanent in itself, by giving them just robbed the good farmland and the exploitation of people in favor aspirations of the profit corporations withhold! This must be avoided at all rates, because it is wrong!
