Guyana

Right now communities in Latin America, as around the world, are suffering a new kind of invasion of their territories

Guyana has an abundance of fertile land and aims to attract Gulf investment in its agricultural sector.

"Il n'y a pas de liberté pour une société qui mange au-delà de ses frontières". Le colonel Kadhafi applique à la lettre ce principe du Livre vert.

As the Caribbean and the rest of the world are still grappling with the global food crisis, Guyana is seeking to sell its vast land and water resources to United States investors as an area suitable for agriculture and aquaculture investment.
