Document Summary

Control of seeds monsanto: food becomes international commodity. Food security doesn"t say where food comes from/how it is produced. In order to guarantee food at a national level need land reform: if all land is dedicated to export crops, there cant be genuine food security. Way for change: food isn"t a commodity, food is human right, get land back, don"t adopt industrial farming. Argoecology: return to more peasant/indigenous ways of farming: can produce more food and healthier food than capitalist model.
