The consolidation of power by the top agrochemical companies like Monsanto and Syngenta, owning a significant portion of commercial seeds, underscores a control over the global food supply, raising concerns about food diversity and farmer autonomy. The privatization of agricultural research and the rise of genetically modified seeds have shifted farming from a biological to an industrial process, jeopardizing soil health and biodiversity.
Former USDA lawyer under Jimmy Carter, activist and author of Uncertain Peril: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds, Claire Hope Cummings shares her views on the state of U.S. agriculture today and how we got here. Be forewarned, Cummings lays out how farmers and eaters alike are being poorly served while the large agrochemical companies profit at our expense. Part 2 was originally published in February of 2009.
