Kenya has banned imports of milk powder, supposedly to protect the 'local' dairy industry. It also plans to waive taxes on animal feed and ban street hawking of milk. Who really stands to benefit? Powerful interests, including Danone. www.facebook.com/share/p/17V1... @margteixeira.bsky.social

The humble chicken is the new frontier of corporate control in Africa. Just like patented seeds, hybrid chicks pushed by Bill Gates lock farmers into a cycle of dependency. It's corporate takeover, not development. grain.org/e/7317

Africa has a wealth of indigenous chicken diversity, but it's under threat from corporate takeover. Gates Foundation and others are replacing local breeds with “more productive” hybrids, owned by 3 companies in the US and Europe. Time to fight back! grain.org/e/7317 @timschwab.bsky.social

New dataset from GRAIN shows how free trade agreements are used to push countries to adopt laws that criminalise seed saving and undermine food sovereignty. The UAE is now using it to push UPOV to their trading partners like Cambodia, Malaysia and Mauritius. grain.org/e/7316

Chemical fertilisers are presented as necessary to feed the world. But did you know that they ruin our soils, pollute people’s water & air and push up food prices? The global food system's addiction to chemical fertilisers must be broken! grain.org/e/6903

La ruptura de relaciones con Israel no afecta la expansión en Colombia del agronegocio israelí, protegido por el TLC. Es el caso de Managro, que expandirá su producción de aguacate para la exportación en alianza con Fresh Del Monte.
