Slow Trade - Sound Farming

Report from the Wuppertal Institute on WTO Trade Negotiations and Agriculture. Must be very, very good as Wolfgang Sachs is one of the authors...

Wolfgang Sachs, the author of "For love of the automobile"...you see?

"The authors of this report reject the dominant
view that favors economic growth over the
importance of meeting human needs and protecting
the environment. The authors are convinced
that the unregulated trade in food, fibers, and
fuels does nothing to make the world safer, more
secure or sustainable. Rather it renders the world
a far less hospitable place not just for future, but
already, for present generations."
