The real culprits are the economic ideologies of free trade and interest driven growth which, masquerading as science, drive disastrous policy decisions.

Yes - except that the whole free market thing of course hasn't really been tried with agriculture. Look at the US - going to give billions of dollars to farmers just as the price of everything they produce goes through the roof.

What we need is pure Stalinism. You WILL produce what we say and how much we say and then we will kill you so that we can take it from you without any further problems.

No - let's have economic idiots rail against corporations and capitalism. After all, you have food in your belly, don't u?

The clip is exactly correct, though. The World Bank and the IMF have forced nations to accept imports of US-subsidized grain, which, over a period of years, drove their farmers out of business.
Haiti, for instance, was almost self-supporting in rice production 30 years ago. But with the coming of loans, had to admit US rice, which undercut Haitian rice, putting farmers out of business. Now Haiti imports almost all its rice, and when the price jumps, the poorest - and their little ones - starve.

When I can't afford food, I grow a garden to supplement my family's food supply.
With the technology we have, NOONE on the planet should go hungry. Wake up people. Stop the greed!

Subsidizing farmers, and in some cases to NOT grow food, is not capitalism. It's protectionist policy driven by how politicians finance getting their votes. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Money talks. Free market capitalism is not in America's big-money interest.

For example: why can't we buy our drugs from Canada? Or Mexico? Answer: the pharmaceutical industry is protected. It goes on and on.
