Over 110,000 hectares of forest were destroyed in Northern Argentina in 2016, including large areas protected because of their biodiversity and crucial role in mitigating the effects of global warming, according to a report issued by Greenpeace on Thursday.

Greenpeace accused local state officials and agribusiness corporations of illegally collaborating to make systematic large-scale deforestation possible by issuing local decrees allowing deforestation on natural reserves protected by federal laws banning tree-harvesting.

India celebrates its Independence Day today, writes Colin Todhunter. But the highly visible system of British colonial dominance has been replaced by a new imperial hegemony: the invisible, systemic rule of transnational capital, enforced by global institutions like the World Bank, while US-based global agribusiness corporations have stepped into the boots of the former East India Company.

The Corporate Land Grab in Africa » CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names
▻http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/05/07/the-corporate-land-grab-in-africa

Right now in Abuja, Nigeria, agribusiness corporations are courting African governments at the Grow Africa Investment Forum to“further accelerate sustainable agricultural growth in Africa”.

That sounds harmless enough, until you know what it really means. Corporate interest in agriculture in Africa has certainly accelerated corporate control of land, seeds and water. But it has done little to support agriculture that will feed the continent.

Rather than support family farming and smallholder agriculture, private sector investment in agriculture has resulted in grabbing land from communities – the land which they farm sustainably and rely on for their survival.
