#16OCT24 International Day Of Action For People’s Food Sovereignty

October 15, 2024 La Via Campesina - EN. , , ,
We, the global peasantry of diverse rural peoples, Indigenous and migrant communities, women and children in rural areas, fisherfolk, pastoralists, and all other small-scale food producers, once again unite to amplify our struggles for the Food Sovereignty of Our Peoples. Every day, the world wakes up to news of worsening environmental degradation across various regions, while corporate elites continue to profit from the crises they have created. Life is constantly at risk, and many public policies are being eroded of basic rights like healthcare, housing, and food, as well as collective and peasant rights. This has led to the deterioration of social justice and the monopolization of common goods.

Mining Corporations Flagrantly Plunder the Global South Without Consequence

June 9, 2019 By Nate Singham, Independent Media Institute , ,
The big driver of the world economy is a plundering process where powerful corporations loot the natural resources of low-income countries. These highly influential multinational corporations (MNCs) facilitate the expatriation of profits and natural assets from resource-rich but capital-poor countries by engaging in a wide range of morally egregious profit maximization practices. Predatory practices carried out by MNCs deprive developing countries of being able to benefit equitably from their own natural resource supply and ultimately undermine their pursuit of emancipatory economic development policies. How do systematic underdevelopment and exploitation of developing countries and their peoples occur? Two common strategies of corporate plunder through global extractive industries are rent-seeking and wage exploitation.
