Corporations have been driving industrialization and fighting fiercly for their market share for decades. But today the global food system is being rapidly monopolised by ever-fewer\, ever-larger corporations at every stage of the food chain\, posing high risks to consumer choice\, jobs\, working conditions and regio nal food supply. Fewer and fewer corporations are deciding on an increasin g share of food production worldwide\, illustrates the “Agrifood Atlas 201 7”\, a compilation of analyzes\, facts and figures on the agricultural ind ustry\, published by the Heinrich Böll Foundation.

This concentrat ion in the agricultural sector endangers the United Nations Sustainable De velopment Goals adopted in 2015. It calls for greater regulation in the ag ri-food sector to end the impunity of the corporations and the huge enviro nmental and climate damage as well as global injustice and violations of h uman rights.

The conference will stimulate a broad-based social de bate on this vital topic and highlight the legal potential for citizens to take action against the system.

The new report comes as the Europ ean Commission faces a crunch decision on whether to authorise the potenti al Baye r-Monsanto mega-merger\, and after Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan ’s announced intention to rein in supermarkets’ outsize buying power.
