>From Food Crisis to Food Sovereignty
The Challenge of Social Movements
http://monthlyreview.org/090831holt-gimenez.php

The current global food crisis — decades in the making — is a crushing
indictment against capitalist agriculture and the corporate monopolies that
dominate the world’s food systems. The role of the industrial agrifood
complex in creating the crisis (through the monopolization of input
industries, industrial farming, processing, and retailing) and the
self-serving neoliberal solutions proposed by the world’s multilateral
institutions and leading industrial countries are being met with skepticism,
disillusion, and indifference by a general public more concerned with the
global economic downturn than with the food crisis. Neoliberal retrenchment
has met growing resistance by those most affected by the crisis — the world’s
smallholder farmers.
