This paper > examines the reasons why farmers around the world are poor and there are a > billion hungry people. The terms of trade for farmers continually declines > and farmers are forced off the land. Governments and international bodies > advocate further deregulation and trade liberalisation and greater use of > technology, yet these policies have undoubtedly failed in their stated aims > of increasing food security and rural prosperity. The beneficiaries have > only been the agribusiness corporations which have been instrumental in the > design of the new order of agricultural production.
