I can only speak to UK farming, and then mainly in the livestock/dairy sectors, but the mechanisms of suppression are the same through much of the developed world.
We seem willing to talk about keeping utilities like water in public ownership, but have thrown food production to the wolves in end stage capitalism - and we’re seeing the inevitable results.
Imagine if countries were having to import large chunks of their water supply from halfway across the world, subject to political forces and dodgy alliances? Why then do we do the same with our food supply?
