Do we really want to see it in the hands of a few multinatinal corporations?How wise would that be?They have the money and the power that goes with it,money for advertising,for bribes,for use of the best facilities,to see off opposition and to pay for the best legal teams in the world to protect them.And whatever they may do in the future...who has the power to oppose them?Not governments,that,s for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190687975298279645.post-63835920627119915392008-09-09T16:49:00.000+01:002008-09-09T16:49:00.000+01:00The Green Revolution saw more strains of rice and ...The Green Revolution saw more strains of rice and corn produced,but if youdon't have access to land and don't have money to buy land,then you go hungry,no matter what you call the "revolution."It,s the social system that counts.If it is stacked in favour of the rich,then it cannot address the problem of hunger.
