What this episode covers

Not-so-golden rice: Agro-imperialism in a time of COVID-19 (Part 3—Final)The Gates Foundation funded project ‘Golden Rice’ is an unnecessary and unwanted GMO technology driven by big agriculture corporations purely for profit. It endangers agrobiodiversity, self-determination and community health in the global south. Agroecologists & small-medium/peasant farmer networks have been campaigning against the propagation and commercialisation of Golden Rice since the mid-2000s via protest and direct action resistance.But in the looming COVID-19 recession—as the UN predicts the worst global food crisis in more than 50 years—corporate agri-imperialists are shamelessly taking advantage by amping up Golden Rice hype as a “solution” to the worsening hunger and malnutrition associated with the pandemic.This is the final episode of a three part series featuring concerned activists from the Stop Golden Rice Network speaking at an urgent online forum to commemorate the International Day of Action Against Golden Rice. Speakers:Sarojeni Rengam (Pesticide Action Network Asia Pacific) on anti GMO & Stop Golden Rice resistance movement.Neth Daño (ETC Group) how big tech philanthro-capitalists like the Gates Foundation are commandeering global food systems.
