I just watched a programme on Community Channel which is a compilation of three FoEI videos: the two on <a href="http://www.foei.org/en/resources/video/campaign-videos/video-energy-sovereignty/" rel="nofollow">this page about Energy Sovereignty</a>, and one on agrofuels which is linked from there. They have in-vision subtitles (interviewees in various languages and forms of English) except for some of the English-language voiceover.

Nice way of pretending we're doing something and fudging a few figures. Sigh... yeah, I can imagine the whole carbon trading scheme might speed this up.

This is a HUGE problem in Central and South America where native people are seeing the maize they have cultivated and nurtured through their family lines for hundreds of years suddenly transformed and mutated by invasive and unstable GM crops from the US. If they can't force people off their land one way, they uproot them by another. The spread of GM crops in the lands of our brothers and sisters to the south is far from unintentional.
