Monsanto and its GMO seeds is just the tip of the iceberg in an agro-industry that has perverted the farming profession, transformed the way we eat and destroyed numerous jobs and landscapes. By placing the land and wealth into the hands of shareholders, the agro-foodstuff empire has primarily served an ultra-minority. Nonetheless, small-scale farming is still vibrant, continuing to feed the majority of people in the South, while in the North, the networks for its revitalisation are growing stronger by the day. Join us for an enthusiastic plunge into this hotbed of diversity.
