Lecture by Manuel González de Molina, graduate of Pablo Olavide University in Seville with a PhD in Contemporary History, and former Director-General of Ecological Agriculture in Andalusia.
| Duration: | 2 hours |
This session will discuss the problem of how the global markets and oligopolies of intensive food production and distribution exclude farmers and traditional methods of handling resources. Despite efforts to incorporate the environmental dimension in their business models, in practice these are merely additive or adhesive measures that fail to permeate their fundamental premises or their conception of the very nature of agricultural production and economic growth.
