Africa: the US Farm Bill and African farmers

African Viewpoint writes about the US Farm Bill, African farmers, and Koffi Annan: “While the corporate food supply basks in the shadow of the poverty of poor Africans farmer to continue its degradation of America, many Americans are in lala land pertaining to subsidies. They think their cry for saving Africa is a cry for Africans, when in fact it must be a cry for their own salvation from corporate control of food, which is now more susceptible to bio-terrorism as a few companies control almost all the food that ends up on dinner tables.”
