when i tell people about this they say that the new investors produce more food then the old farming methods and they then sell the food to the orginal farmers. that way the farmers get food and the investors make a profit by selling for export.

i see no sign here of the farmers getting anything out of this deal.

if the farmer used to farm one tonne of crops and the investors now farms 3 tonnes on the same land and sells one tonne to the farmer everyone would win but does that happen?

it is dehumanising how the greed of the money is destroying

if investors just watch one little peace of the hole, they never will understand the real thing.

like a scientist watch just one sort of ants n say every ant is like that.

thats absurd, ridiculous
