By the way, Canada would soon fill up with all sorts of trouble if everyone moved here that would like to call Canada home. Then there is India's 3 billion. Wow...imagine buying up Canada's land just to produce food for their people. Over population is a PROBLEM that no one wants to talk about.

We&...<br />I think the world is heading that way, Rumley. We're dividing into food secure and food insecure. What I find troubling is that the wealthier, food insecure countries are snapping up some of the best farmland in already food insecure countries, especially in Africa. <br /><br />When foreign interests divert agricultural production from nations where we already have a history of famine demanding international food relief efforts it usually occurs because of government corruption.<br /><br />These are countries that often have weak or non-existent land registry systems which means that people whose ancestors have farmed a parcel of land since time immemorial can be displaced by a few armed thugs. That, in turn, renders them dependent on international aid.<br /><br />I took an online course on global food security, University of Edinburgh as I recall, that revealed how extensive these landgrabs are in European industrial agriculture. For example, Brits want fresh strawberries year round. To stock the shelves the growers begin in British greenhouses but, as the seasons change, they "follow the sun" - first moving to Spain and then onward to Africa where they have large landholdings acquired, I suspect, for a song. Even British companies freely exploit food insecure nations such as Kenya.<br /><br />Gradually most of the world becomes dependent on this type of agricultural food chain which, in the span of another decade or two, will be cataclysmic for the peoples of these poor and vulnerable "donor" nations.

Instead our overlords want to sign trade deals, eliminate Canadian farm production and buy food elsewhere. rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.com
