La restructuration globale des systèmes agro-alimentaires

Abstract

Contemporary geo-political-economic power relations, which are partly institutionalized through WTO, involve the globalization of the relationships between food production and consumption. The political choice to refer to international markets prices, though those prices are dumped by the export subsidies from a few countries, and the political choice to liberalize, lead to a great recombining of agricultural productions around the world, to a new dominant thinking about ?food security?, to food dependency for numerous poor countries, to destruction of peasant farming and to enhancement of multinational agribusiness power.
