live. more news today violence is once again fled uf these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada the struggle for asians are. lucky. was in order to understand how the system works it is necessary to look at the parties involved a producer and the buyer for example the producer and the buyer agree that one will sell and the other will buy a specific amount of weight at

a specific price and that the product will be delivered in a year from now for that they sign an agreement which is known as a time conflict was such contracts insure producers and buyers against such risks as bad weather and sudden changes in prices. was if you're a farmer you're afraid the prices are going to fall you can lock in the price months ahead of when you harvest by selling here and get rid of the risk or you can do the same if you're a full buyer a processor like the general mills or kellogg's or coast and you can lock in the priced of the grain months ahead of when you actually need to buy it so that when you actually do go buy it if prices are much higher you've got it bought already at a much lower price that. these contracts do not linnean inert they are

bought and sold by profiteers and the contract might swap hands dozens of times before it expires for example buyers purchase contracts for wheat at a low price if the price we close up they have made a profit. we're transferring risk whole purpose of the exchange is to transfer risk from people that have it like farmers and don't want it to people like myself speculators to take the risk because if you take a risk and you're right you make money course if you are wrong you lose money. since two thousand and six big players have begun to appear at the succumb to brain model. now there not only traditional players at the pits but also managers of huge financial institutions that until a few years ago showed no interest in investing in food.

the financial markets which had been very greedy in lending money for mortgages in the united states and lost on the want good market but some prime crisis as it was called led to a collapse in investments. with the markets cumbering because of the mortgage crisis highly investing profiteer saw a new opportunity in food they invaded the chicago markets and began to buy time contracts in unprecedented quantities causing prices to shoot up. investors sometimes of real estate and housing and jumped on the bandwagon of primary commodities food commodities their money and the monopoly control of every business companies like cargill drove the prices upwards.

i totally disagree with that kind of talk that speculators are not behind the big rise in prices speculation has very very little to do with it. when bubbles break liquid gets flashed all over the place and yes there is not a question there was some relative so. i don't doubt for a moment that speculators move grain prices do i think that they move grain prices by one hundred percent now i think that speculators problem move move the grain prices by. twenty percent fifteen percent. of the prices would have gone up anyway. because of the weather problems on the weak dollar and the export bans on tight world strax that's why prices went up the hunger that has become permanent and global is totally own

creation of the global food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits for monsanto the seeds of cargill for pre-date for selling pesticides herbicides fertilizer in the period of two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight while food prices doubled the profits of these companies also doubled. so if you want to understand why prices are going up while people like me less you just have to look at these companies and centers i love every seed company of the world cargill controls about seventy percent stake of the tree in the world and they would like to control hundred percent and they would like a situation where the prayer that says give us this day our daily bread is a prayer not to call the creator but is a pray to cargill and monsanto. us company

monsanto is the world's biggest trader of genetically modified seeds. it began as a small producer of chemicals turning into one of the creators of the infamous agent orange in the sixty's and seventy's a poison that was used in the vietnam war it deforested huge areas and caused cancer and tetra genesis which continues to affect the country even today. in two thousand and two the company obtained permission from the government of india to introduce a genetically modified cotton seed in the market known as bt called it is genetically enriched in laboratories with a bacteria capable of killing the parasites that threaten this plant. we have been able to develop a technology called border guard bt cotton technology where we. produce a c.

that has in its protection best thereby helping farmers almost double their cotton reduction reduce the number of pesticides it's been using in the field to control those bits and really increase their average income in six after the introduction of. india has become the world's second largest producer and second largest exporter in introduction of the. four centuries of farmers of india cultivated their farms and their seeds which were given to them by mother earth. and. they are a gift from the gods that belong to no one gave everyone the right to use. them how much. we would plant our own seeds from what we used for food we would keep a few the following year we would plant those same seeds. with the goods they

were natural said. if there was a drugs they'd come out fine just the same if. we had our own slaves we didn't go to the market we had no separate expenses for that number. it's. it's. it's it's it's it's it's it's. it's . we had cotton we had corn we had peppers we had everything. with the seeds europe's. they were ours the peppers the corn the cotton were

ours. and you want a price for your crop so yes a even won a prize so if your seeds were good why did you take the other the others were also using them we thought we could get a better harvest. and we used them to that's how it happened. with these seeds we got ourselves into debt. so. they assured us we would get two hundred kilos from each field. the first time we had only a few expenses for the scenes. then we used fertilizers once or twice. now we use them five times and it's not enough.

i thought. only the soil has lost its strength because of the bt cotton if you use a different seed nothing grows you don't use your own seeds no we do not. see. you can't imagine there deception they would bring p.t. seeds and say we don't need to use a lot of chemicals. come in for a year it was like that however the following year a new parasite. arrived. right at the beginning they said we wouldn't need to spray at all. then they said you must use some for this or this for the other bug so what is the situation now. but what does

monsanto produce but it also produces chemicals and who is the biggest trader and chemicals monsanto you think will start bringing their chemicals and pesticides to the market with any company give up on profit no fee or yes the farmers of india cultivate expensive crops they depend on multinationals for seeds and medicine for the allies or of which they need more and more dope on the same farmer that spent nothing on seeds before now must spend forty percent on stilts. before there were no expenses on fertilizer now twenty percent goes to that the farmer would not use any press the sides now that amounts to ten percent of all this adds up to seventy percent that they must put on the cost of themselves you know not all.

proprietor when. it was a very bad day he was going round and round with his mother was sick in bed and when he came in sat back there his wife was sleeping there. he didn't see what he did but he had so can self and petrol. and he saw there is strong fire and then he came in she fell here. and we were all here. but have had a mighty. good and he was burning in front of our eyes he burned very quickly as the. girl smiled in the. dark we did everything we could to save her we took him to the hospital but he died two or three hours later. in the dark and.

he would tell us he knew we told him not to take it too seriously we didn't imagine he'd do something like that he was worked up and sat thinking alone for hours we would tell him the hard days would pass that's what we tell him with. a story that we have suddenly become scandinavians and don't see the sunlight and therefore getting a present of promise and in their lives it's amazing how hot foot out the human

imagination get being when it wants to find excuses to not i understand the real roots of the crisis the government's own data shows that the majority of farmers who have committed suicide with deeply indebted are going to shills for the majority of them watching today because the country. will see the sights of the two hundred thousand are in the cotton belt most of them have grown bt cancian the story of indian farmers is the story of how these depletion is corporations have emerged as criminal corporations i often see if two hundred thousand people had been killed by a dictator we would have gone into genocide.

suicides in india are tragic phenomena and unfortunately have existed we before the introduction of bt cotton in two thousand and two in gravity all this was from the side of the city indebtedness and so a few other causes are inadequate infrastructure and education and very revealing fall so on and so forth. she would say nothing. of the she would say nothing about alone i always find human worry deep in thought. she was always worked up his mind was working all the time. she was never happy she would pretend to be

happy outside inside the house he seemed lost. i talk to him i told him got was testing us let's not worry or get through this i sat but she said that was impossible because we had debts and knew harvest. how will belief. how we will raise our children. all that war a team and she wouldn't talk much. when we. were at school and the girls told me her father drank poison i couldn't understand what he drank and what it was.

will be delayed me by the seeds they give us that is the main cause of suicide they put in ny a leaders inside. in the past any tree that gave seeds if we kept them and preserve them for the whole season and planted a tree the next year it would grow just like the one before but it will be if we keep the seeds from this one nothing will grow no one told the farmers this. eventually the village learns that this person cannot produce anything. why then not even the loaner will lend him money a bank won't lend him money. but if he gets depressed.

what if the day comes when he will do something. and that is why our situation has become so tragic because of the seeds. but even if the farmers keep the seeds for the following year they risk being sued by the company the seeds are patent protected which means they are the intellectual property of monsanto. as strange as it sounds through this patent to consolidate something that is alive as its own invention and has the right to exploit it exclusively for twenty years. if a farmer keeps some seeds to plant next year then he is accused of being a criminal. he will be fined with twenty five thousand rupees which is three hundred eighty euros we can the small farmers pay a twenty five thousand rupee fine. before we would keep our own seeds and use them

the following year but if the farmer doesn't do that who have to go all the each year. tell me is that fair on humanity. entered into a contract with us stating that they will. use the seed for produce in one season and then for some reason to use the seed the following season that violates the contract that we had really thought was it is a very small number. and in most cases we look thought of these differences out of court so when you apply. that you can see the seed for the growing season first of all your massively increasing cost of production for farmers massively. we're borrowing money from everyone to buy seeds and we ran out of money.

by that one day as this kind of my husband killed himself because of the debts of the neighbor ok i couldn't save anything. medical she was depressed the dad was huge. now i don't know what to do and when my husband brought to money market the nobody will lend money to woman is a bit something especially here. in this situation. and i feel so sad. cottonseed early oh it's not have protection against war it's. almost had to be a best of sides. in science agriculture scientists around the world what you're

going to find a more sustainably we can protect the plant against those against that war one that was a technology called bt cotton which is inserted into the sea it's a product of the science in the seat. of the. trillion dollar doggedly who controls that food supply the seed supply and those companies now are going beyond the patent to get a single plant variety to say we can patent all plants and we can patent all crops with a single work claiming traits within those fridays getting those crops that are common to all of them. so we control everything we control the filesystem. did they make the seeds know until today nature made the seeds did they create anything living they couldn't. or as

a nation seventy's there is no proprietary secret plan of whatsoever not really a day eighty two percent of the seeds sold are proprietary they're part of a patent heels. that's an enormous chair. janet e.p.a. engineered crops do not produce more fruit but they tell the light that the markets more straight does not feed people if you want legal hungry because a globalized treat then becomes a trade controlled by five agribusiness corporations who can get the price as they want and they want to speculate upwards they speculate upwards when they want to fix the prices downwards to capture markets they think the price is down let's and as their profits increase people stop. so they've got what they need out of this they've got the control and frankly now because they have that control they don't

need biotech in your more big the marketplace is to them they control the first link in the future. one of. the the was it were was were the with. the water. possibly it's not traded now but it could be in the future perhaps sure. i don't know much of the how did because there is no market to buy and sell water maybe there will be in the future if i have a market where people who need water and a market of people who have water can get together and through their own best

interest discover and that's an important word discover the price of that of that commodity i know who or how they're a government how can a government how can. a group of supposed intellectual sit down and say this is the price of water everywhere around the world. will there be circumstances where some people will not have water the. yes. the who or that will happen that is the harsh reality of how markets function and the do you sometimes run out of soap yes whose fault is that probably yours as you can go to the store to buy any should

you blame the government you know. it sure felt. like.
