VIDEO: Who Will Feed Us? The Peasant Food Web vs the Industrial Food Chain

Peasant-led Agroecology and Food Sovereignty Feeds the World
More than a set of agricultural practices, agroecology is profoundly political, intertwined with food sovereignty and peasants’ and farmers’ rights. Small-scale farmers, peasants, pastoralists and small-scale fishers – who make up what ETC calls “The Peasant Food Web” – already grow 70% of the world’s food using only 25% of agricultural resources.

douze façons de commencer à décoder 2019 et les années à suivre
Déchiffrer les tendances scientifiques et technologiques émergentes fait partie intégrante du travail du Groupe ETC. Nous voulons saisir les implications des nouvelles réalités qui se font jour autour de nous, qu’il s’agisse d’intelligence artificielle, d’ingénierie sociale, de formes extrêmes de modifications génétiques, de concentration d’entreprises, de surveillance, d’autoritarisme ou de géoingénierie.

doce maneras de comenzar a entender el 2019 y más allá
En el Grupo ETC nos es fundamental tratar de entender las tendencias emergentes en ciencia y tecnología. Queremos comprender las implicaciones de las nuevas realidades que están surgiendo a nuestro alrededor, ya sea que se relacionen con inteligencia artificial, ingeniería social, formas extremas de modificación genética, poder de las corporaciones, vigilancia, autoritarismo o caos climático.

A dozen ways to start making sense of 2019 and beyond
Making sense of emerging trends in science and technology is a core part of what ETC Group does. We’re impatient to grasp the implications of new realities that are emerging around us, whether they relate to artificial intelligence, social engineering, extreme forms of digital genetic modification, corporate concentration, surveillance, authoritarianism or geoengineering.
Le projet de forçage génétique dirigé par Target Malaria n'informe pas les communautés locales des risques encourus: un nouveau court-métrage
Submitted by Dru Oja Jay on
Target Malaria est un consortium de recherche qui vise à éradiquer les espèces de moustiques porteuses du paludisme à travers des outils de modification génétique. Dans le cadre de cette expérience, ces outils n’ont pas fait l’objet d’un consentement de la part des communautés : c’est le message principal d’un nouveau court métrage qui sortira cette semaine.
Target Malaria’s Gene Drive Project Fails to Inform Local Communities of Risks: New Film
Submitted by Dru Oja Jay on
Target Malaria, a research consortium that aims to eradicate malaria-carrying species of mosquitoes using new genetic modification tools, does not have proper consent from communities for its experiment. That is the main message of a new short film that is being released this week.
“A Question of Consent: Exterminator Mosquitoes in Burkina Faso” documents conversations with residents of the areas where Target Malaria is conducting tests, as well as opposition from civil society groups in the region.
