The so-called Second Green Revolution marked by the genetic modification of seeds and spurred by the TRIP agreement, exemplifies the globalization and corporatization of food systems.
The seed market is tightly controlled by a handful of powerful players.
Narrowing competition, commodifying food and weakening/distancing the links between producer, buyer, processor, retailer and consumer, threatens the human right to adequate food.
The homogenized and monopolized features of the global food system spell danger for biodiversity, food sovereignty, food security, etc.
Lab lesson of the day: Consent/assent
Ensuring human dignity in research is priority. Whether using a rapid technique like observation or a key informant, if using video or photo, a code of conduct should be followed.
