Dangers of famine having lived through the chinese famine where official records so some 36000000 people died they wanted to make sure that they could secure their food supply of homes if the chinese try to like americans what will happen to the amazon rain forest. Where where will we find the land to grow that much for it to grow that much grain theres just not any end to frontiers and war on the planet. The situation in brazil is a case in point in 2019 deforestation saward. President. Who took office earlier that year is keen to promote the countrys Agricultural Industry and so is a linchpin so a mono cultures have come to dominate places like sometimes i am in the brazilian state of. Lives next door so i plantation i have. Right there behind our homes this is sort of been plantation. I. Think what your head. This is all plantation. Was surrounded by soybean its all around us. Oh right in the middle of all this land used to be a family farm and yet now its been turned into a sewing monoculture and because its only grown to export none of it remains in brazil or. A truck full of sawing has tipped over on a road in the state of missouri grow so well because of gathering up the valuable soybeans by hand. This used to be rain forest now its only fields stretching right out to the horizon. A local farmer says also around. Our kiran to hear the voice sniff before we started cultivating this was all forest it was cheap land. The only thing here was forest and trees and they did. It look the way it does on the other side of the road. Something we used to clear the land simply as a way to survive. This regions economy is almost entirely based on soil in the hero. This is our vocation source its all we know how to do. And you need a man when we grow the food that ends up on the global populations table. With all of the problems here. Soybean is an imported crop that we have adapted to conditions here. And we realized that it grows very well here and that we have the right conditions for it. With the help of Gene Technology we slowly improve the soybeans. Today we have specifically developed for our region. We pay a visit to an agricultural trade in look us the real daddy in the state of much across so. Soybeans have made a number of farmers rich here including. I had a small farm in rio grande into so. I had 15 hectors. I drove here with a small truck to help my uncle who was moving here. I was young and very enthusiastic. And i thought i could make a good future for myself here. I was lucky and many Different Things came together i was in the right place in the right time exactly when the world began asking for more protein and food i had a dream an unusual dream almost a fantasy. Fortunately reality has proved even better than my dreams. My company has 270000 hectares under cultivation. I. Know i have publicly listed the company and sold 70 percent of its stock and now im a shareholder an advisor. Theyre going to seal. In brazil and in the entire Southern Hemisphere solly is to spearhead of a new model of capital production called agribusiness soyuz a standardized grain which has become a commodity its the same all over the world its easy to grow i want to very large scale. Here in brazil some of our soil farms cover 240000 hectares. So sergeant. Yallop think miraca the Global Market is controlled by only 5 companies bunga monsanto a. D. M. Cargill and dreyfus. They speculate with the prices speculate with stocks and manipulate the market. Theyve managed to transform soy into the main ingredient in animal feed. Pig feed cow feed and chicken feed that means that saw is now a very important raw material in human nutrition. The world has become one giant pig stye corporations use soya as if it were the only food we have in the world. We have the same seeds the same micro chemicals the same Trading Company the same price setting mechanisms the same players its a very homogeneous Production System even though its very diverse in its interaction in 3 radically different systems and in social settings its a Production System that generates its own homogenize. In order to be able to attend this Global Market. In this region the produce is mainly come from other countries. But some of them come from natural grosso and pattern our. Local people have also started planting it. Yeah maybe theyve realized that its good business. But most of the people who plant soil come from abroad. They also use a lot of machinery and those machines take our jobs that went back you might like she. Hardly any people work in those fields in. Business so more work for local people and why youre changing the north of the plantations hire a few to drive tractors project are not. Here but apart from that they do all the work themselves by you and your family you should be ashamed of god coming up to rectify that but. This building houses the sum to ram farm workers union. Local people up benefiting very little from the soybean brew. Smallholder farmers cant compete with the industrial farming operations which can produce more efficiently. What have you got there soybeans. No theres no so here. You know you. Are products arent worth anything. Only the big farms can make money. But the small ones can you can think. Of us if you can try to plant corn and then where are you going to sell it you know in the end theres no profit to be had then. The markets only for big growers if you want to plant soil you need big machine tractors we cant afford that kind of equipment but i. Saw has not made for small holders its that simple. You know just rather just want to have a lot of different ways to fight the past and then all those past send up on our fields so when we plant beans now we end up with nothing. They use pesticides and the insects and up in our fields. We cant do anything about it. But. We used to plant beans and would fill 2 entire sacks of them its true. Now weve stopped planting. The pests from the land that belongs to the rich people come here and destroy our seeds. In the United States in china cant they just destroy their own forests to plant soybeans. Why do they have to come to brazil and exploit our resources are often like africa has plenty of forest why dont they go there maybe they dont work hard enough or they have more nurse. Who has in fact reached africa mozambique is nearly 10000 kilometers from brazil but Brazilian Companies are moving in trying to secure vast tracts of land for soybean farming. The agribusiness project is being promoted by the pro savannah program. The brazilian farmers are going to africa because most beaks government is leasing land at a very cheap price to create new plantations. Mozambique is giving brazilian farmers a 6000000. 00 hector area 3 times bigger than 38. 00 and almost for free its going to be a lease that will allow for the cultivation of soy cotton and corn mainly for the chinese market. But. Were Company Human rights activists jenny me as one join you on a visit to the not carla region a lot of land here is slated to go to the brazilians. Are you doing good and you. Im fine my friend thank you. Very much sewing time. Just rain. Yes it rained a lot we might have a good harvest this year and the next one. Ok. We dont have enough land here. We already have conflicts among ourselves. If investors calm the conflict will become worse if. The land belongs to the people of mozambique. Were not against development. But we believe that the community should be consulted despite what our government says we dont eat soybeans we eat our local crops and. We gave the government some advice before implementing the project that they need to involve local farmers. What happened instead is that meetings were not public and not at the district or at the national level. Weve been threatened and intimidated. Many farmers are facing criminal charges. And so you believe the promise of an eye is not helping farmers. No savanna is not good for us. Is a joint Program Involving mozambique japan and brazil its official goal is to promote development in the region. When civic organizations investigated the situation and we realized that scroll. Savana was an umbrella project on design to pave the way for big investors and agribusiness giants. That theres anyone who was interested in taking control of water land and Natural Resource in sydney and call it a corridor of mozambique. With local farmers were displaced. From sunday yesterday and 5000000 people in the region have been affected if it was thought up with someone youve even though in this others you dont consider going to see when you dont. This is what is this your land i mean is this the land you want to occupy because this is just a declaration you do not have a certificate for land use this is only a statement about where you live on usenet specifies where your community lives in operations but the certificate is not to have human rights to use the land thats why you have to be careful someone else could have laid claim to a land use certificate that the Community Needs to fight to get the proper documentation up and i think if we dont deal with a situation it might soon be too late that thats the
