In Mozambique, Brazilian and Japanese companies are prospecting of land in the area known as Corredor de Nacala to perform in 14 million hectares industrial agriculture crops that feed multinationals selling animal feed or biofuels for trucks . In the Dominican Republic, the population appears above the Canadian embassy to stop open-pit mine for gold in Pueblo Viejo; the country people are concerned about the cyanide pollution of their land. Argentina's agricultural biodiversity few decades has become a monoculture soybean in the hands of a few landowners, is a fabulous European business to fatten livestock. And now, in Catalonia, as in many other places, crop intentions pierce the rural territory in pursuit of four drops called shale gas.
Interest on agricultural exports, energy crops, mining and fracking's can be interpreted as a true assault of big corporations on the planet to take over the natural and collective goods. In all these cases we are talking about three common elements: grab large tracts chicago population of fertile and arable land; control large amounts of water that they hide and are necessary for cultivation or for extracting minerals or gas; and with the land and water in your hands, use them so aggressively that, for sure, will lead to exhaustion and death of two resources, renewable and always vital before.

The current, a capitalism that demanding a perpetual growth to increase chicago population capital accumulation, means the land and territory as a resource rather than burning chicago population before assuming his bankruptcy, visible as multidimensional crisis and, secondly, a new paradigm who knows and defends the land and water as common goods are not for sale because they are no one, belonging to a people and their future generations.

I mean, to the extent that in Catalonia wells are drilled, which would get serious, firstly, deepening the difficulties of having a territory Live rural, with active population in agriculture or food processing, tending chicago population the landscape, etc. and, second, to deepen our already fragile food vulnerability (60% of our food does not produce our peasantry, chicago population comes from abroad).
Faced with these corporate attacks land is also emerging a global response chicago population that claimed the same expression, the defense of the sovereignty of the people. As the movements for local and organic farming that young people are leading people to work the land and rebuild abandoned farmhouses; movements to declare their territories free from mining, or fracking GM crops; Historic or just redistribution of land and agrarian reform struggles. Is not this fight a reflection of the will of the people to regain their sovereignty?
