Earth grab: No to a biomass economy

Food Secure Canada, December 2010

The world’s biggest corporations are rushing to grab and convert living plant matter — called “biomass” — into fuel, chemicals, and other profitable products. This new “biomass economy” represents a trillion dollar industry but it will not feed the people or stop climate change. In order to shed light on this new economy, farm leaders from the Global South participated in a public forum to share their reality and propose alternatives. Presented by Food Secure Canada with: Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, Development and Peace, ETC Group, GRAIN, Greenpeace, Inter Pares, National Farmers Union, Peoples Food Policy Project, The Ram’s Horn, Union Paysanne, USC Canada.
